I started with Squeezebox Classic version 3 - coax spdif- DPA DX 32 DAC and Qnap NAS
added Super Teddy Reg PS for SB Classic
Changed SB Classic for Squeezebox Touch
Changed Qnap for one notebook with W7 as a dedicated server. Much faster and big step in sq, don't ask me why. Bits are bits.
SBT Teddy PS + Buffalo DAC + Notebook as a server with wired (Draka CAT 6 cables) connection and small extra Cisco switch dedicated for streaming
added WaveIO and changed coax spdif for asynchronous USB between SBT and BUffalo
Borrowed and tried many USB cables, settled with 30cm Supra USB cable
converted with dBpoweramp all my library from flacs to waves
Tried different other solutions without streamer with notebook + usb dac only and Jriver, Foobar, Daphile etc. Also tried different software for LMS Server - Ubuntu,XP, W7/32, W7/64, W8.1/64
finally settled with
SBT- EDO - Waveio + Buffalo + Notebook W8.1
In last months tried Wandboard and Raspberry Pi with different software solutions (COS, SOA, Squeezeplug, Volumio).
Now using:
On my desktop at home - notebook with Soundblaster XFI HD soundcard and KRK Rokit 5 G2
In my room at work - Rpi with Squeezeplug and Wolfson Pi DAC
In my "main" system at home:
Rpi powered with STR PS or battery pack - Picoreplayer - i2s - Buffalo DAC + dedicated Notebook W 8.1 with last LMS nightly as a server with wired connection and small extra Cisco switch dedicated for streaming
My plans for the future ? Trying to get rid of network connection between player and server.
Just ordered ZOTAC ZBOX CI320 NANO
http://www.zotac.com/uk/products/mi...t/zbox-c-series/detail/zbox-ci320-nano-1.html
and i will try to make a streamer&server (or player&server) in one box + USB Drive with Linux (Real time kernel ?) Squeezelite&LMS, or Windows + ??? Jriver ? Foobar + Android App ?
Zotac - USB - Waveio + Buffalo DAC is planned.
If it will sound better, than picoreplayer-i2s-Buffallo, than the next step will be linear PS for Zotac, if not, than Zotac will be my new media server.
Also thinking about dsp (loudness?) with sox on the fly.
