I agree, it would be better to get an external device to handle your streaming and music because even some of the best A/V Receivers or Pre/Pros have only the basic features you would want from streaming and it doesn't perform THAT well. My personal favorite device is a Squeezebox by Logitech. They are amazing and if you ever delve deeper into audiophile-land, there are plenty of modifications to improving the sound of an already amazing sounding device.
