These guys had a wonderful demo in Munich High-End Show last May together with Pure Audio.
If I remember correctly, they record using 384KHz sampling rate - aka future proof :-)
Setup was based using B&W 801 speakers..
I (also) have Logitech Transporter in main room and SB3 in the bedroom.
I also bought a 3rd party module for my Pronto 9600 remote, so regarding the convenience - could not be better.
These so-called media servers and their extenders just way-over...
