If I had it to do all over again I'd probably build an Xpenology box because the Synology interface is dope but they just don't prioritize the GPU necessary for streaming. The living room can source from an AppleTV, a Chromecast and a PS3. They all have their drawbacks - the Chromecast can't handle DDigital streams because they don't encode it correctly for Denon/Marantz receivers, the AppleTV has a really shitty interface and crashes a lot, the PS3 has an 8-year-old Cell processor and it whines sometimes - but when I rebuild it'll probably be with a PS4 at the heart of it. It's got the best interface and it's the one device that will handle Netflix and Amazon streaming. And Plex shows up on it really clean.
