Is this device compatible with Media Center and/or Media Server? I would like to be able to use the optical output on this device to connect to a home stereo. Should I be able to get the device to recognize my music without using the included MusicMatch software?
I know that there has been some mention of similar devices before, but I have not found a definitive answer from J River about this type of appliance. I would most like to be able to control a device like this as a zone (or something similar) through a MC client. Could you guys devise some general way of accomplishing this for this class of devices? For example, I think that most of these devices will tune into internet radio. Could MC be made to emulate an Internet radio with each zone representing a different station? Thus, you select music using the powerful MC interface and could tune in from your LAN or the Internet in general. If this could be done, I would like the option of streaming WAV (along with track info, if possible), so that I could play my lossless audio (APE) on a stereo through a device like the Linksys.
What do you guys think?

Did you ever get more info? Did you try it (and did it work)?
I'm considering the purchase of the Linksys or the PrismIQ to put in the stereo cabinet.

Linksys is not supported by JRiver Media Center at this time.

There is a link there to some reviews of the Linksys receiver.

There is a VERY early version of a UPnP plug-in for MC11 here:

It MAY work with the Linksys.
