[QUOTE="vleisman, post: 853761, member: 456"] There are so many options nowadays. I have... * Server running Daphile OS * Connected to network via RJ45 ethernet -> goes to * Raspberry Pi also connected by ethernet * Pi goes to --> Schiit DAC via USB * DAC to amp The quality is excellent in my opinion. One day I'll upgrade the Pi with the ALLO transport, expecting some improvement but doing it mainly for high-res files. The Pi battles to process those. Don't need a screen, control everything with my phone or tablet via Squeezer app. The Pi and DAC are permanently powered up. To play I just switch on the server (can leave this on permanently as well) make sure the amp is on the correct input, open the app on the phone, search and select song/album and hit play. Being on the network means you can find and play any song you have from just about anywhere. I don't stream but there are lots of guys here that do. Options are endless. I've also set up a movie server using a networked laptop and Kodi on Android TV boxes. Kodi found my music server, so that is also an option (I don't use for music so can't comment on quality). One day if I'm bored I might do an A/B between the Schiit DAC and the Minix Android box. I would expect the Schiit to be better. [/QUOTE]
