[QUOTE="oysterman, post: 8611620, member: 673991"] Sorry, when I said remote i just meant for volume and switching between aux 1 and 2. In terms of actually controlling the music the idea is to use the mini computer on a network that my phone connects to and use an app. So there's no streaming because the mini pc is hard wired via aux to the unit,which then goes through an amp. So the unit is there purely to send the audio signal. The mini pc has Dolby and is designed for media (it's the minix u9-h that runs android). Since much of the processing of the audio signal is done via the computer, surely it's sending a pretty good analogue signal out already... hence my initial question about the need for an hu. If you strip away the need for cd, radio, BT,what else is the HU doing? If it's still doing important processing designed for car speakers (like my set up), then fair enough. In which case a stripped down unit is all I need. But with the mini pc processor and a good amp... do you see where I'm coming from? [/QUOTE]
