Abit AirPace Wireless Audio Device
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 PM
"For those music lovers out there who have collections of MP3s that dwarfs the library of congress and would like to hear them on their home stereo which is located on the other side of the house there is a solution that does not include dragging wires from your PC to the stereo. ABIT has given TechwareLabs their wireless music solution named the "AirPace". The AirPace is a Wireless Audio Device with built in Access Point,” gives you the ability to send audio from your PC through the AirPace wireless access point to your home entertainment system or similar device. The AirPace is Abits competitor to Linksys’ audio bridge."
I'm a little less impressed than the reviewer. A Zune or iPod with a dock and remote will give you a better user experience since you will get a display, which from the review it appears that this unit lacks. If your collection is larger than what a portable player will hold and if you have a Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation3, or Microsoft Xbox 360, you can use Orb and do this for free. Or, you could just use an actual computer rather than an overpriced, one-trick pony.
