Yes, that was a laptop. It finally kicked the bucket and I have a full PC there now instead. I got a bigger tv too. Those are older pics, I need to update.
I've never tried to use Heos. I've just always had a PC of some sort in my setup. They're just super versatile for watching videos, streaming and pretty much anything else you'd want to do. I ripped all of my music from cd's and have them stored as lossless files on my hard drive so they play back in original quality. I downloaded and use Foobar2000 to control everything from my tablet. It's my entire library conveniently organized, high quality music all at my fingertips.
