Music server install: internet over electric lines


Hi group,
I want to set up a Marantz NA7004 network audio player with my 2 channel system; my plan was to have my cable company run an internet line to my system's location, but today the tech said, given my home's layout, that wasn't possible.

He suggested a device by Asoka, called "PlugLink," which carries internet over your existing power lines.

Has anyone done this? I wanted a dedicated hard line to improve audio quality; I'm worried about noise from current affecting the signal to the player.

The other option is Marantz has a wireless "airplay" unit which could stream music to the NA7004.

Thanks in advance for your advice,
Jeff

Everyone....thanks for your input; my solution will be to use the NA7004 with my second system, which is my HT set-up with the Marantz SR7005.
I can get internet to that location.
Thanks,
Jeff
Sammy, and group....
What I decided to do here was buy an Audioengine D2 wireless DAC; I'm using a Kimber Kable USB from my computer; at the receiver end, I'm using an Audioquest Big Sur interconnect to run into my Arcam integrated. I've been very happy with the sound.

Thanks for your feedback,
Jeff
