I need to get rid of my HTPC. Am so tired of windows and software players problems. I need a machine that starts quickly and runs everytime for all files.
My main criterias are:

1) widest file types compatibility Like ISO/VIDEO_TS folder/VOB/TS (SD and HD)/ MPG

MOV/Ripped VC-1 and .h264 Bluray are optional

2)Choice of res output over HDMI depending on source resolution:480i/576i/1080i/1080p.

3) Direct stream out of my CD WAV files @44.1Khz/16Bit over SPDIF without oversampling or volume gain.

4)Rock Stable and trouble free.
