Actually, back on Elvis's original question - I was thinking about the situation later on after I read the initial thread... one advantage of being able to stream from networked PCs to the Empeg would be for the digital out board... if I have more mp3s stored on my pc - or lets say some other stream or media or whatever - I could take advantage of the digital out that goes right to my stereo.

Of course, though, I would probably already have whatever mp3s I wanted stored on the empeg anyway. But, just for thought anyway...
