I’m thinking maybe more than just one additional category but am too lazy today to go take a closer look at the existing ones.
Servers, Storage, and now renderers, and should we not include mobile devices too? Not trying to be exasberating just wondering out loud. Perhaps make the mobile devices colum ‘remote controls’ instead, or merely ‘controllers’..
So then, it ought to be a few more categories on the topic tree then just servers. Renderers which are servers as well, go where, exactly? Servers that are merely storage go wehre? Should the requirement going in be that anything in these categories MUST connect by Ethernet on a Local area network and not just by USB?
Regardless, IMHO even a wide assessment all in one category would help to begin with as renderers are the actual . playback initiators once files have been stored. Therein or elsewhere on a network.
Want about a software topic? Streaming services require an app. Somewhere. All the time folks are trying to get hardware and software to play well together. Pages here are littered with Amarra notes, J River notes, etc.
Think that’s bad? Wait till we all start getting chips implanted and can create displays out of thin air and switch modes channels, or tracks with a blink of the eyes. Or motion of the fingers.
Then we’ll need ‘gesture’ and ‘implant’ topic. lol
