Streaming music to home amplifier
Does anyone here have ane experience in streaming music from their ReadyNAS to their amplifier possibly controlled by an iPhone or iPad? I was hoping the Apple Airport device might be able to do it bu...
Perhaps you could explain what exactly you want to do.
You can stream music from your NAS using either the iTunes (FireFly) Server, Squeezebox Server, Plex Server or DNLA server. However to receive the music you will need a Client which in turn is connected directly to your amplifier - or are you suggesting that your amplifier already has a client installed. I've read that some DVD, TV's and amplifiers come pre-equiped with a DNLA client.
Note that the iTunes Server does not work with iTunes 10.5. You could buy a Logitech SqueezeBox Classic off eBay. I purchased mine for £75.00 and has a built in DAC. The Classic needs to be connected to your amplifier with RCA Phono plugs. Also the Classic can be ethernet or wi-fi connected. If you give some more information perhaps we can offer some further advice. Using any of these methods will avoid you needing to have your computer switched on.
There are many iPhone Apps available for SqueezeServer, DNLA Server, Plex etc it is just a question of choice....
