I've read about software like Logitech Media Server, PiCorePlayer, MoOde Audio, Volumio, RoPieee etc. For the audio feed into the Harmon Kardon amp I'd want good quality, the others not as important. I'm happy to acquire more RPis (maybe 3A/B or Zero models so no heating issues, and cheaper) along with DACs (HAT /USB) to play into my existing audio systems. I have a Raspberry Pi 4 (headless) which is currently running my VPN server, and Pi-Hole - both in Docker containers - so it is not exactly over-worked.īoth the Pi and the NAS are networked (ethernet), however none of them are anywhere near any of my audio systems. I can run MinimServer on it, but would prefer to keep it as a file server only. The NAS is not a high-powered model, it has a Marvell CPU with only 512MB RAM. I am wondering if, with the addition of some Raspberry Pis and DACs, and the right software, I can achieve something better, both in terms of SQ and convenience and flexibility. This kind of works, but has some limitations. None of the speakers are near an ethernet connection point.

via Bluetooth into a portable Bose speaker via a Chromecast Audio into my Harman Kardon stereo integrated amp I currently access this from my iPhone using the QNAP QFile app, and another app called FLACbox which is a little unstable when accessing network shares. My music collection comprises FLAC files (my CD collection ripped) that reside on a share on my QNAP NAS. Nice to haves: the same music playing in two rooms at once, internet radio, may introduce a streaming service like Spotify at a later stage.

Must haves: centralised playlists, streaming over wi-fi (5GHz), decent quality audio, controller app must work on iPhones TL DR: looking to setup the ability to stream FLAC files from my NAS to various speakers around the house, using an iPhone as the control point. I've been doing a lot of reading on networked audio streaming, and am looking for some advice.

Now with MinimServer installed, we double click it to start in system tray, the first time it s ta rts it asks for a content directory, we then select the same two hundred songs folder to scan for music. We already have Asset installed and have scanned a folder containing approximately two hundred songs in Flac format. Since this is a music metadata blog we are currently just concentrating on the metadata features rather than control of the media renderer. We are also going to do a br ief compar ison with another popular UPnP server called Asset just to show what difference it makes using a different media server.

There is a full list of installations available here but for this blog we are going to use a PC based installation. MinimServer is developed in Java meaning it can be made available for a large number of computer devices, from Macs and PCs to Network Attached Storage devices (NAS) such as Qnap or Synology and purpose built media servers such as the Melco N 1.
