Amazon Fire Stick and Plex for audio streaming
Comten:
Figured that I'd attach the Firestick to the Onkyo as just another HDMI device but discovered that I cannot as the AVR has no USB port - the Firestick uses an attached USB cable to power it...
Otherwise, I could not see why it wouldn't work...

It would work, that is how I use it. Just power it from a USB cube connected to the wall. They consume very little power, can be left on.
Sir Thrift-a-Lot:
I just got set up with Plex and it seems to be sending hi res files natively, but it will only do two channel.

Mine came with a wall box. I tried using the USB on my cable box, but it gave an error that it didn't have enough power.

FINALLY tried the Firestick in an HDMI port on the Onkyo - the Onkyo supports HDMI switching between the FIOS "cable box" and Sony Blu-ray, but would not "find" the HDMI port with the Firestick.
I guess I could run the F'stick navtive into the TV and use the fiber-link back to the Onkyo (which I use to send audio to Onkyo when I feel like watching an old VHS taped episode of "The It's Alive Show!"...)
