I've been thinking of replacing my home audio receiver.
I want one that not only receives FM, but that also has the ability to play directly from a USB drive like my car stereo does.
I see several models, such as this one for example, with a USB receptacle on it, but I have a question...
Denon AVR-E200 5.1-channel home theater receiver at Crutchfield.com
The adverts say things like, "listen to a portable music
player via the front-panel minijack input" and "iPodŽ integration through front-panel USB input".
Can any of these units play directly from a USB drive, or do they all require an ipod or similar player to decode and send the data stream into the DAC?
