Best way to stream Bluray? Connectivity questions
Discussion
I'm looking to invest in some new hardware to both stream DVD/BR and act as a music server.
The plan is to get the following:
- vortexbox server (probably DBM) to hold FLAC and DVD/BR
- new 802.11n router (recommendations?)
What's the best way to connect this all?
I was planning on having the server hardwired via SPDIF to my DAC, then an ethernet cable into the nearest powerline adapter (devolo DLAN 1200+) back to a new router (i'll have to stick with 802.11n rather than ac, as all my devices are currently only able to operate on n (at best). The media server would then supply the TV via another powerline adapter via the router.
Are powerline adapters good for streaming HD video? I don't want to rewire the house with CAT6 cable, etc.
Any other suggestions?
