I find it pretty amazing that you can get good sound and picture for such little money nowadays.

Those look like proper theater speakers. Congrats and you suck!

Zing is right. Optical is limited to 5.1 channels and can't do HD audio either. Plain DD or DTS only.

The PS4 has no DLNA or uPnP. Other than the streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu, it's pretty useless for media. But, if your movies aren't bought from itunes, then there is a way to stream them to the PS4 but it not ideal. You would need to install a media server like Plex, or Media Browser 3...

My experience is different from everyone else's. Because I was born in a communist country, we weren't allowed to listen to any music other than the folk and pop music made by our country's artists. The only way you could even listen to music was thru the radio or TV which maybe only 1/3 of the...

If I were to go outboard amplification, I'd go with Parasound, Adcom, or Rotel over Emotiva.

Haywood, did you ever decide what to get? I found these Mackies on Amazon for $100 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KVEIY4E/ref ... 68E3&psc=1

Also, I just looked at your head unit's owner's manual and I found this The head unit will read WMA files but only lossy ones encoded up to 192 kbps.

I have the full version of dbpoweramp (i think it was $50) and when I rip a CD, I tell it to rip it to 4 different formats at the same time. ALAC, Flac, MP3, and WAV. DBPoweramp is great software. Also wanted to add that WAV files can't have metadata, that's why you can't see any info except...

Yeah, usually these kind of disputes get resolved within a couple of months.

These NuForce speakers at $152 look interesting http://www.crutchfield.com/p_773S3BTB/N ... 2&tp=48386 These JBLs are a little over your budget but have good reviews. http://www.amazon.com/JBL-Professional- ... nger+truth Or the Mackie MR5 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_863MR5MK3/...

I know you said no subwoofer but this set has a small one http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a- ... ion/1.html

I don't stream music that often but those rare times that I do, it's always my music collection uploaded on the Google cloud. Just hit 'shuffle' in the Google Play music app and I have my very own radio station.

Yes, his Yamaha does have pre-outs. I too think he should try an external amp first but it looks like his mind is made up on the new NAD receiver. I think Botch caught the upgrade bug and is giving us a lame excuse to upgrade :D

Is this the stepson that you had problems with?

It was going to happen sooner or later. I don't really have a problem with it. I think I read that they may increase the streaming price by a $1. At $9 a month it's still a good deal.

No streaming service but you can upload up to 20,000 of your songs on their cloud for free. Then use Play Music app to play those songs.

It's the same thing for Amazon Music app on the Fire TV. Right now only the purchased music shows up (I don't have uploaded music to their cloud). Yet the Amazon music app on my Android phone lets me play the prime music albums that I have added. It makes zero sense. It's one of the reasons...

LOL! You are right Jeff, I totally missed the second half of your post recommending a USB thumb stick. My apologies.
