Been thinking a bit about this, and have decided that Oppo should offer an ITunes-like streaming service, in commercial partnership with the HRA sales entities.

All I want is an easy way for some true provenance HRA files to be easily streamed into a HQ piece of decoding hardware, like my Oppo player, and outputted as either LCPM or over SPDIF to my B & O 7.1 system. Control and interface meant with streaming via IPad app.

Discussion.

The most troublesome part of that will be how to find the 'true provenance HRA files', I suppose!

Well, and then there is the OPPO-part - why should a hardware company like OPPO bother with that?

And - would you actually have enough (internet) bandwith to stream 24/96-192 files (multichannel files too)?

And do you assume, that enough people would be able to do so - in order to make such a service profitable for a company?


But - what you could do, is (to the OPPO via HDMI) to hook up a MacMini with iTunes (with Audirvana or alike),

download some of those 'highres' files and play them back through your 7.1 system.

The 'Remote' app from Apple on an iPad would be the perfect interface.

If you - however - prefer a Win-machine, try out the JRiver Media Center as the player and the JRemote app as interface.

Or use the Media Player of the OPPO for accessing a DLNA server with the files on the network.

If you happen to have a newer BV (Avant/BV11-12) just use the integrated Media Player and a good DLNA server running on the network to playback the files.

If you use an app like the 8Player you can control the DLNA server via iPad.
