| PC audio with S/pdif input only Get a Squeezebox Touch. You can connect it by wireless or by Ethernet cable to either the iMac or a PC and to the Sim by coax. See: http://www.stereophile.com/computeraudio//logitech_squeezebox_touch_network_music_player/Kal | |
| Can volume/selector pots be switched out of a pre? Sure. If you are willing to give up the remote control, you might even consider stepped attenuators for the VC.Kal | |
| Recommended Shostakovich? Try Janson's BluRay of "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk" on Opus Arte. It is all powerful and fascinating but you will get a kick out of the close-up of Jansons' glee and animation conducting the raucous intr'acte!Kal | |

| Ethernet over power line - noisey? I use it in both of my systems and I am unaware of any audible effects, even when I turn it on/off/on.Kal | |
| MOCA? Using your cable line to carry Ethernet? I have not used MOCA but it does intrigue me.Kal | |
| USB DAC, SB touch, NAS I would not recommend using the Touch with a USB connection to a USB DAC unless you already own such a DAC. There is little advantage over using S/PDIF, especially considering the inconvenience.Kal | |
