Hi

I don;t have a PC permanently connected up at home - but was wondering
if there exists a 'box of tricks' that would allow me to receive radio
off the 'net? (There is a phone line near the hifi rack). The French
station I want is not accessible through DAB and, being in Scotland,
am would be a very weak signal.

I am not interested in taping things to MP3 etc, file sharing or
anything else of that ilk, so the £250 reviewed in HifiNews recently
seems excessive - but would prefer an option with digital out so as to
use the high-end DAC that is already in the system.

thanks for all responses

Salman

Audiotron.


oh yeah you might want to consider DSL. I woundn't bother with net radio
over dial-up, and phone calls will mount up too (unless you have all w/end
free calls or another "free talktime" plan. If you get DSL connect the
audiotron upto your gateway/router along with other devices (PC's, network
printers, network HD's) then you can access the higher quality bitrate
stations.
