I'm after the cheapest way to decode a flac stream with following criteria;<br>- Transport from UPnP (DNLA) NAS using either WiFi or Cat5 networking<br>- Toslink digital out for using existing HiFi DAC.<br>- Low power consuption (eg just few Watts - it's just a decoder anyway).<br>
<br>There seems a real lack of Flac players that are cheap and HiFi separates integratable like current-day CD players. All solutions I've seen are either expensive boutique heavy-weights or portable devices.<br><br>
Squeezebox doesn't count for me - requires PC to be on, thus breaking rule 3 above as a few-hundred Watt music player system (pretty irresponsible solution if you ask me in these times).<br>
