Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

RE: Anything with an OS in it can be used as AV streamer - however, I don't get the attraction ....

"but i think that noise inside the pc is not a big issue if i use the usb out providing isolation from the pc power. "

In my opinion the noise inside the PC does matter even with good USB isolation. Every time I have improved my PC noise wise, with memory filters and better shielding etc. I have experienced incremental improvements. All of these improvements are a step to getting better sound. Often they are not gigantic earth shattering improvements but small incremental positive steps.

I think home theater is not as critical of an application. Audiophiles are definitely more serious. Any of these small PCs will work as a home theater PC as long as they have a good video output.
