U r indeed poisonous..... :jawdrop:

Anyway, the salt n pepper is already in my wish list.... Let's see when I can check out... The rest I KIV first...

care & share when your items hit the quota, check out lo.

U into FLAC too... My man

I believe my Aktimate Maxi can also stream music. I will need to explore a bit when i'm free. Btw, where did U get your FLAC? I used to rip all my CD into apple format a few years ago and store all in iphone & ipod.

U into internet radio too? I presently had 2 station program into my Maxi and will on them when I'm in the mood for chilling. Share with u. DeepHouseLounge & Deephouse Digital Imported It has nice lounge music and sometime can really get my mood up and feet tapping...

How is your Sennheiser? I'm looking at a wireless headphone as my wife complained my gaming is too loud and she cant concentrate on her Korean drama

Yup, FLAC is good because of its compression. WAV was too huge to manitain in long run for me. I got my FLACs from *hint hint* sources If album is good, will buy the disc as well. I think my NAS can convert my FLAC to various formats playable in my iphone & ipod. Need to check.

Yup, loves internet radio from europe, hooking onto 1.fm chillout lounge :dribble: Cant remember the few I frequents, will find and let you know in details.

Sennheiser is good no doubt about it, even my missus was impressed! Recent model to replace mine was RS 220. **** chio lo Sennheiser RS 220 Headphone - Black

Hi,

Do you have the below cable that come with your parrot? I believe the TV should have the 3.5mm stereo output.

You can use that to connect to your speaker.

Can be done that way, stereo only.

I'll most probably ask my wife to bring it back from US since she will be there this month...btw what cables do you use for your satelite and front speakers? Any recommendation and place to buy?

I'm using 4x of NAS at the moment, 2x of 4 bays & 1x of 5 bays(allows 2x expasion of 5 bays) which I had used 1 expansion at the moment.

Picture speaks a thousand words, in case it gets a bit lengthly.

This is my final layout for my networking routes. From P1 to P7, linked back to my Server Hub in my study room. All points laid with AMP Cat6 unshielded cables under my flooring & concealed via wall. 3 points in living, 2 points in study & 1 point each in Bd2 & master. At the server hub, installed 1x 12 ports Cat6 patch panel with all 7 points connected. P1 @sever hub will be connected to my gigabit router and further routed to my 1x 16 ports gigabit switch for distribution. P1 also acts as future network access route for Opennet Fibre as my house not ready yet. (Do note that I had installed 2 gang power socket at P1 for modem)

Current: Singnet ADSL/Starhub->P1@living->P1@serverhub->gigabit router->16 ports gigabit switch->Server Hub patch panel(6 points)

Future: Opennet Fibre->P1@living->P1@serverhub->gigabit router->16 ports gigabit switch->Server Hub patch panel(6 points)

Back to 16 ports gigabit switch, remaining ports will be taken by 3 NAS, PS3, media player, Smart TV and hifi console. As such, I'm left with 2 ports as spare.

In the living room, 2 points at tv console area. 1 point directly to my 65" plasma Tv & 1 point to 1x 5 ports gigabit switch hidden in my console. 4 ports distributed to 1) Onkyo AVR, 2) Dune HD Media player 3) Oppo 93 & 4) as spare

As per your qns on how many points? No ans to that as what you want to do with it. Best to go for 2 points always, the more the merrier!

Yes, you can get a gigabit switch and further distributes the bandwidth.

To close up on why I installed a patch panel, I can utilises it as telephone access points in future with 5 spare ports in hand. :sport-smiley-018:

Hihi, thanks for your kind explanation and illustration.

Well, I am thinking of the following for mine:::

a) Opennet Termination Point (TP) @ Living Room Console (with 2 free power sockets allocated) ->

b) Opennet Fibre Box ->

c) Gigabit Router ->

d) Gigabit Switch (8 ports) ->

d) Network Patch Panel (4 points) -> MBR @ 1 port / Bedroom @ 1 port / Study @ 2 ports + Gigabit Switch (8 ports).

In the event when I plan to expand the network in the rooms, I will add switches to the rooms.

I am presently receiving quote of 120 per cat6 point, with 10 bucks for per wall panel in my rooms and 50 bucks for the network patch panel in my living room. Gigabit switch is around 60 per piece. So total damage est 690.

Is your place opennet ready? If yes, no issues on point a. Your plan looks ok to me My quote was $100 per point(inclusive of termination at patch panel & port end), I bought my own cat6 network wallpanel(AMP) costs less than $10 each from LHS & my 12 ports cat6 patch panel about $50 bought off Amazon.
