So I really like Plex in my FreeBSD (Windows free) home environment. I am enjoying the various Plex clients, but the home theatre port for FreeBSD is especially nice.
So, I have a really nice stereo, but of course my old PC's have cheap sound cards in them. If a fellow wanted to build an appliance equipped with HD video, and Hi Fidelity audio, what should he consider? Obviously I am posting in this forum so what ever equipment it is, it must work with a box that is running the FreeBSD OS. PS3 has nice sound, and I use that now, but I am interested in a true HD HiFi player.
Some guys are using USB based DACs in a Linux environment. I'd like to avoid having to use an external device plugged into the PC. I really want to have a self-contained box.
Thoughts?
