Flac files on NAS storage sent computer-free to Sonos system. Digital out to Benchmark DAC directly to Sim Audio Moon W-6 monoblocks to Totem Mani-2's.
The Sonos controller can't be beat. Every song/file at my fingertips instantly. I don't use a preamp in order to use the Sonos volume control. One remote = instant music. Walk into a room, cue up music and BAM!
Using a pc sounds like a step back for me but for others it's the only way. To each his own! I wouldn't want a laptop siting on my legs in order to change my music selection.
