I didn't understood this as your issue. That being the case I'd opt for copper, that's how I do it. This way I can also use the laptop as a CD/DVD/MP3 player.

I had copper/cables and I wanted to get rid of them. On main PC in the office the M-Audio card is still connected via cables to the amp etc.

So now a preliminary feedback of what I installed now in the living room to the HiFi:

New Netbook Packard Bell http://www.packardbell.co.uk/pb/en/G...l/NU.BXSEK.002

USB Bluetooth adapter

Logitech Squeezebox http://www.amazon.de/Logitech-schnur.../dp/B004ZH0RSY

Installation of the new hardware into the family network: No problem
Installation of the Squeezebox : "0" problems (Foobar erecognizes the device as a speaker)
Sound: at a first "hear" as good as over copper"

Resuming: Happy (and more important: Doris happy) as no cables any more in the living room

Again thank you Dale and deSousa for your input.
