Dear, 

I find your product WD TVplay really fantastic but before buying it I have one more qestion. 

Can i connect my home hifi system (Denon m39) and play music using my android phone without turning on tv? How I can do this? Which app I need to have?

I would like to use your device also for playing music without using tv.

Thank you.

Yes you can,

you can use 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp

and there are bunch of others similar apps.

If you are going to use Play just for that, I would rather recommend getting

or

if you need help with setup, let me know

Thank you.

I would like use my phone/tablet as a base store streaming device for videos and music to both separate tv or hifi.

Any other I suggestion. I think this device will be perfect for this. What you think?

I would recommend WD Live Streamer

Ok. But why not WD Tv play.
Why Live?
I don’t see big difference .

Well WD Live streamer still has firmware updates coming out,

also if at one moment you decide to watch your DVD collection on TV,

you can˝t do it over Play because it doesn´t support mpeg2 and DTS.

Also Live supports Windows Network Share.

Thank you.
All the best.
