1000+ Head-Fier
I have been searching and searching for a streaming device for local media and I believe I have found a "cheap" sollution.
I have tried the Fiio M17, A&K SP3000 and SR35, Wiim pro, ...
I had a lot of issues with commercial streamers like for example the ifi Stream. The software behind it could not handle a local library of let say 500+ songs which were stored on a simple ssd hard drive!
Now I am using a Linksys WRT1900AC with a 2TB SSD. This router can share external storage so it can act as a media server.
I am using Android usb audio player pro (which is connected via usb to one of my dac's). It seems to be working very well for the moment.
I had a lot of struggle to finally find something that's working. I am also paying attention to energy usage so I want to use the solllution that uses less energy.
I am mostly running all audio devices from a portable battery.
