In an effort to use more of the pc that I already have running 24 7 I have opted to keep the amps right next to the pc and run speaker wiring throughout the house. Thus I have no need for remote nodes throughout the house. All remote contrl will be done via web tablets in the rooms. I am also a bit of an audio nut and have not had a chance to listen carefully to the audio produced by this soution. If pulse fails I can always build/buy a hardware audio matrix switch and put it with the amps. Im happy to share whatever I have or give thoughts, although I am new to pulse too.
