My NAS is located less than 1 metre away from my hifi equipment, so could easily connect via USB, but would it create any speed issues for streaming? I assume this will be enhanced with future firmware updates?
I notice you have a Dune player, plus Oppo 83 and 93. How do they compare for DVD streaming?
My Oppo 93 plays back Blu-Ray's and DVD's in a top-notch quality. It also streams Netflix & Vudu(not important in UK, I know).
I only use the Dune right now to play 5.1 multichannel flacs, which it does quite well.
As I mentioned before, I use Handbrake and transcode DVD's and TV shows into MP4 and playback on Apple TV 2's. The wife & kids enjoy the Apple TV GUI and I am satisfied with the performance. I'm watching Simon Schama's History of Britain right now on the Apple TV :-)
The Oppo's provide pristine audio/video playback of DVDs and BluRays. And the support is top notch. Support for #1 & #2 internet video streaming in the U.S. Helpfully, it transcodes HD codecs to PCM, which is great for HD621 owners.
The Oppo 83 was a great BD and DVD player for its time, I found that it couldn't play back Toy Story 3 in 7.1 . I don't know if this bug was ever fixed, Oppo couldn't get parts to make any more 83's so moved to the new 93/95 BD platforms.
