[QUOTE="Wolvebain, post: 873679, member: 13371"] unRAID has a [b]L[/b]ogitech [b]M[/b]edia [i]S[/i]erver (abbrv. to LMS) container, which works well with many Pi related audio setups. Since you're looking at dropping the AirportExpress, I assume the need to emulate iTunes is not a requirement (?) By this, I assume you mean the convenience of a phone app, not necessarily dependant on an Airplay cast from your phone to the end-point (?) Logitech Squeezebox Controller, iPeng, SqueezePad , etc are iOS apps that can control LMS. As in, your iPhone doesn't decode the audio > convert to an Airplay stream > Cast to Airplay endpoint for playback Instead, your iPhone acts as a remote to control LMS. LMS decodes the audio files, and streams to the endpoint as lossless, or DoP (for DSD) Related to above question.assumption... AirPlay streams at 16-bit, 44,100 kHz. If you have higher resolution source music files and have a DAC that supports higher resolution playback, it won't matter as Airplay will down-sample it. What I'm saying is, you prob would need to leave the Apple "Ecosystem" to really get the benefits of a Pi (or many other quality) solution. Are you okay with that? [/QUOTE]
