So you have a home server computer and a NAS computer, receiving instructions from your handheld computer to send data to a streamer computer containing the DAC . . . and that's as simple as it gets?!
Simple is: one computer/DAC containing all your stuff and pulling media from the web using your mobile device as a remote - connected to active speakers. No NAS required. And what Tony said.
So much for convenience. For any of that to sound any good, there's no escape from GIGO - or RIRO as we Brits have it.
The home server computer is my home computer serving my home network of 3 PCs dotted around the house.
The home server does not even have to be switched on for my system to work seamlessly. In the context of my hi fi system, it is an irrelevance.
And cloud storage for my 6.9Tb of audio files is not a practical proposition.
So, I have a NAS, connected to my Router-Modem & my streamer connected to my router modem & my active speakers.
One rather discrete box is all that is visible in the listening room.
What you sell is mostly doomed to becoming a tiny, tiny market.
