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. regards
