I've used power links in the past but found that success depended on the electrical wiring arrangements (extensions, breaker circuits, etc.). I had much greater success with MOCA (Multimedia Over Coax) and recommend it.
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
