Need Help Optimizing PC Audio
Is the sound quality that bad? I am doing the same thing except I have the Marantz 8805 and do HDMI from a custom built pc to the 8805. Then B & W  CDM7 SE fronts, 7.2 with 4 Atmos. Is your pc or Marantz doing the rendering? If I use my 8805... 
Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume?
This conjures up a quote from one of the greatest movies of all time from the great Burt Reynolds, who has unfortunately passed away. Sally Fields was asking if he knew who these various singers were, he didn't and he told her some names and aske...

If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one?
Intel Nuc from Mitx pc?That is where I got mine, could have given you a contact. So you are liking it? I've had mine a couple of years, I am going to build another custom in a Full Atx case to replace it.

Dadork,I have prime, it comes with Amazon music unless you mean the next level up for music.I occasionally download a song but I prefer buying CD Albums over a single or downloading a album. Could be a ocd thing.
