RE: Acoustic noise is the problem... Not electrical...

You forget one thing.

Everything you go for is gonna be a compromise.

A well done local playback solution won't necessarily be worse than a bad network solution.

Network related load and network related distortions need to be compared to distortions caused by local HDD/SSD.

This all is not black or white. And it's basically all about effort.

IMO it requires much less effort to build a quality, no-frill, headless,
disc-less streaming client.


Before you agree to anything Archimago is saying (basically all systems sound equal, noise and other distortions doesn't have impact because he can't measure them and bits are bits - everything is a hype ), I'd suggest to start reading stuff about one of his favorite measurement tools to get the picture:

Enjoy.
