I'm starting to look at Amazon Fire device + Skifta perhaps if needed.

This looks like a nice fit, especially for Amazon Prime customers that might also be interested in video/tv streaming.

PLEX is advetised to be on Fire TV device at launch and might be worth a look.

Fire TV appears to have both optical and usb outputs that could support using an external DAC, a key feature for good sound quality out of an inexpensive source device.

Anyone tried any of this yet?
Bluesound....that's a new one for me that on paper appears to be a viable candidate, depending on cost.

I see a local dealer for Bluesound....will have to check it out.
I have an Amazon Fire TV box in house now. Using it to replace a cable service box for TV only at present, but I am seeing the Plex app available there. Might have to give that a try on my hifi system at some point soon. Everything appears to indicate that should work. Then, how will it sound? I would be using the same DAC as I use with SB TOuch currently, so should be able to compare.

Anyone tried Amazon Fire and Plex app yet on their system?

Plex does cost a few bucks. There are a few other free apps I have dabbled with a bit that are able to interface to my remote music library on my wifi networked laptop and play .wav files on my TV. That's as far as I have gotten with this so far.
