Hi guys,
I'm fairly new to AV home audio but recently upgraded to a Yamaha 1010 AV box with some monitor audio BX2 speakers.
TV is a Sony EX723.
Now, I want a storage device which I can save my audio/video files to and control it from my setee via either my Android phone or through the DLNA screen on the Yamaha or with a laptop with wireless mouse.
Currently I have a LG blu-ray player with a USB SATA HDD connected to it - works perfectly but I want to get rid of the Blu-ray player.
I'm thinking a laptop via HDMI will give me the video/sound quality of my current blu-ray player wit the benefit of having internet on my TV - all controllable via a wireless mouse.
Only thing is - what spec of graphics do I need for full quality HDMI in 1080p with sound? Also, will HDMI carry full DTS sound or just stereo sound?
Cheers
