    Monitorless audio playback via VFD - plausible?

    I would like to do a setup in which if I want to listen to music using my HTPC (assuming it either has a large hard drive with all of the music installed, or has a network connection to the required media), that a VFD on the case would be sufficient for navigating to get this one. IE. play music without turning on the TV.

    Is this plausible, and if not does anyone find any good uses for their VFD?

      By VFD, you mean a vacuum fluorescent display? Like the little ones on the front of some Pre/pros? I don't see an issue, you could also use a Sqeezebox or something that displays the song and so forth on its own display.

      I'm more used to the usage - variable frequency drive...

          It sounds like that should be a great way to use the computer.

          What case do you have?

              Yes, it's plausible.

                  Picked Up a VFD Display
                  by Bing Fung
                  I picked up a 20x2 Vacuumn Florescent Display for my Lian-Li.

                  This one is the do it yourself Noritake that uses the parallel port.

                  Following are a few pictures of the process.

                  2900 vs RCD 1072 for cd playback?
                  by NHT
                  As some of you already know, Im not impressed with the performance with my new 1098 that I bought two days ago. Let me rephrase that. It sounds good, but not much better than the 1055 Ive used as a pre/pro. Sure, it has a lot more users options and tweakability but soundwise, in my opinion, is not...

                  by sarsi
                  I like to share some of recent experience with my new 3D TV setup with my current Rotel RSP1098/RMB1095 setup. I am hoping this information is useful for anyone with the same configuration out there that are interested to take the 3D plunge.

                  I had not been very active in the last couple...

                  Rotel RSP-1066 and SACD/DVD-A playback
                  by Ben
                  1066 owners – I ‘m asking for advice! I’ve had an RSP 1066 on order since May, when the initial shipment to Australia sold out.

                  Now ‘my’ unit is due to arrive in Oz in just a week – and Rotel still has not corrected the bass management issues in the firmware.
