Music server

I'm confused why one would need Apple TV. What does it do that you can't do with just a usb dac? Just wireless streaming?

While music server has a lot of options in the market, nothing performs as high quality as Kaleidescape. It plays better than some of the Mega thousands $ cdplayers in the market. Best part is it can be played in multi locations and searched by lists or logically groupped by artists, genre and multiple other ways displays the cover art artists and tracks automatically. I have one previous owner's for sale. Write me if interested. Great price.

I would look at the Olive 4HD or the 6HD for a single box solution.

My neighbor has an Olive. Nice solution, but pricey. I like the idea of streaming from a laptop to an external dac. Anyone try one of the mod'ed units from Bolder Cable?
