Agreed. DLNA is new for me too. I'm going to find an integrated receiver |
| 8 |
with ethernet and drag a laptop into a store and see how is works. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
There just not much documentation on what each vendor is doing, |
| 11 |
and asking some penny-poke in the store how it works is useless. |
| 12 |
Now I've discovered that not lots of (astute) folks have work with this |
| 13 |
"DLNA" either..... (go figure) |

Most likely MicroSoft has infected this space as I cannot find |
| 21 |
lots of docs about interoperability, testing or certification |
| 22 |
lists anywhere. Besides that's what vendors (usually) do in my |
| 23 |
experience..... DLNA is very loose from what I read about it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Oh well, it's now another project and the ethernet port just might not |
| 26 |
be worth it. I have loads of audio gear already. I'm experimenting |
| 27 |
and build a sound system for every need, with a method for my kids |
| 28 |
to be able to use the AV with DVD and terrestrial radio and such. |
| 29 |
|

Once last thing. It's nice to have these integrated amps for 'light duty' |
| 31 |
audio and letting the kids and such use the system. When I power up the |
| 32 |
big amps (2K watts), I use the 'pre-outs' in the integrated receiver to feed |
| 33 |
into a mixer. If you make it so you have to use a computer for simple sound |
| 34 |
then some kids and some folks get flustered..... imho. I think this |
| 35 |
space is very dynamic as vendors struggle to understand how to let |
| 36 |
customers have what they want, and still maintain some differential |
| 37 |
control over their products features...... |
| 38 |

YEP look here (MicroSuck) is front and center. SO DLNA will SUCK! |

Just what I feared. I guess vendors are just too stupid to realize |
| 45 |
all they have to do is put ethernet on the product and document |
| 46 |
what paramaters to pass over which open standard protocol (RFC) |
| 47 |
and ports they want to use and Whamo it works...... |

This is just what I figured it was. Microsoft contaminated crap..... |
