    Hay,
    Will this amp steam stuff (avi,mp4 etc) from my pc via the LAN cable?
    Can anyone recommend or share any experience with this stuff,
    My current amp is slowing dying.I have used it every day for 11 years!

    yes it will as it supports DNLA, i have an older model what is not DNLA certified, but your documentation says this is,

    With DNLA certified devices you can run a service on your PC, or get a NAS drive with a DNLA service and should handle movies, pictures and music once its on the same network.

    having said that the video on the site you linked to and the documentation only says that is can stream audio. I think you should clear this up alright before you buy it to make sure it can handle video, as I said i established that mine was not fully DNLA compliant beforehand, it did not bother me as my TV has a full DNLA service and I have a media PC too (better than DNLA as i get more audio options)

    didn't pull up this model on the dnla site either

    it does the same for Airplay too, they only talk about using audio with Airplay even though Airplay supports video.

    OP, there aren't too many experts hovering around boards.ie on this topic, much more specialized advice is available here...... www.avforums.co.uk

    pretty much no av amps support video streaming, they are all limited to audio. Supporting DLNA does not mean it has to support video,or even audio, it may just support picture transfer.
