My PC is in a bedroom. My stereo setup (including my Oppo 95) is in my living room at the other end of my house. I stream digital audio files that are stored on my PC's harddrive wirelessly to the Oppo 95. The 95 comes with a "wireless adapter" as does the 105. I have the wireless adapter plugged into the USB port on the front of the 95. This enables the 95 to communicate with my Comcast router, which is a wireless model located in the same bedroom as my PC. My PC is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable (although this connection could also be handled wirelessly if I wanted to do that). On the PC I have the JRiver software installed with all my digital audio files imported into a JRiver library. On an Android tablet I have Oppo's "Media Control" app (for the 95) installed. When I want to use the Oppo to play music that's stored on the PC, I must have the JRiver application running on the PC. I then use the "Media Control" app on the Android tablet to select what I want to play. (Note: There are two different "Media Control" apps, one for 9x series Oppo models and a different one for 10x series models. So when downloading the app from Google, it's important to pay attention to downloading the correct one.) Overall, my experience with the arrangement I've just described has been good; however, the wireless connection does sometimes fail. If there is a sufficient hiccup in the wireless connection, all of a sudden it will sound like the music playback is "skipping". When this happens, I must stop the playback, close and restart the Media Control app, and select again.
