RE: Popcorn Hour A-110 NMT with FLAC

Posted by JGT on December 17, 2008 at 09:57:54:
Thanks for your response.

I had since found this same thread as well. I can report that I have received the A-110, and am happy with it so far. It does work for 24/96 FLAC and probably WAV too -- but I didnt try WAV yet as I dont store files that way.

The use for 24/96 FLAC content was more incidental for me, as this box is a video box. I have about 10 or so disks with 24/96 content on them (DVD lplex). Now I can stream them over the popcorn to my DAC. Works well. Interface is clunky for audio, but then again -- I dont have that much content I need to listen to this way. For all other FLAC content, it is squeezebox for me. I am happy that I am now 100% capable of streaming audio now. I do think it sounds better than reading the bits off the disk -- and certainly more convenient.

The fact that this $250 box can do all the video functions, plus play hi-res FLAC like a Transporter (to external SPDIF DAC), is quite cool. Definately a fun geek toy -- not a lot of user friendliness to this product -- but good for the technical audience.

Regards
