[QUOTE="gt2402, post: 1159258, member: 19970"] I was thinking of getting a Raspberry Pi and use it as a NAS+media server/streamer. I have a Nvidia Shield connected to my TV and am wondering where or if the Raspberry Pi would fit in the setup. I want to keep the Shield since I have Netflix, Prime, etc. already setup on it. The thought was Pi would hook up to my DAC through USB and connect my backup SSD to it so that I can use the Pi as a NAS and media server/streamer. But then it seems running the video from the Shield to the TV and the sound to the Pi would be complicating things too much. I am wondering if I should just connect the SSD to Shield and hook up the Shield to the DAC. Then I can use Plex and even control things through apps on mobile. Or should I switch to the Pi as a replacement for the Shield. Looking for throughts and advice. [/QUOTE]
