Thanks Kate,
it is good to know that you are not the only one on the planet earth :)
although regarding SyncEvolution over BT, I pretend to be the only one, but
it is a different topic.
What do you think about the Popcorn Hour? Have you used such?
I think I bought my A100 about that time ~10y ago. It is connected via
cable to the local network and can use either NFS or Samba to play movies
or music. The sound system is a dolby stereo Yamaha amplifier. I would say
the sound depends more on the amplifier and the boxes, but of course the
quality of the recorded audio plays a big role. I wouldn't say the audio
card makes a big difference, although I still have one SB in the attic the
sound of which I can not forget.
I was pointing to that one, because I think it is worth considering the
option. Especially when you think how long such a device can last.
I was looking for a replacement for that A100 few weeks ago, evaluating
also the effort to turn a RPi4 into a multimedia player, but it was just
too much work :) and still the popcorn hour beats it in terms of comfort.

I use a laptop to achieve the same results.
But I see how this device might be better.
I've never heard if it until now. I'll have to research it.
Kate
