Hi,

I have a Synology NAS where I stored all my digital music. I am currently streaming my music through USB output directly to my amp DAC and using Synology app (Audio Station) to control everything. I have been told that the USB output of Synology is not bit perfect. Therefore, I am looking for a solution to have bit-perfect audio streamed from my NAS into my amp: one option is that I buy a streamer (Bluesound node for example) that I will add to my system between my NAS and the amp. If I play my music with the bluesound through Ethernet, will this be a bit-perfect solution? I can even add a good DAC between the streamer and the amp, but if my system is not bit-perfect from the source, it will not make a difference

Thank you in advance for your replies

You may have better luck brows through the Computer sub-forum, there are several options for stream audio within those discussions.

Try a Raspberry Pi with a digital HAT. You can use software such as MoOde or Volumio to feed into your DAC. Digital HAT such as hifiberry digi+ or Allo USBridge, or Just bloom digi+.

The bluesound can play music over samba. It will be bit-perfect. For the price I think bluesound is a good deal and the software is much better than average.

I just got a Node 2i a few weeks ago and it does bit-perfect over ethernet or wifi. The BluOS app even does gapless from my Synology NAS FLAC library, which was the big draw for me. I kinda love it. Bluetooth audio quality is pretty decent too for not being LDAC.

Fwiw, I have the coax out from the Node 2i > Airist RDAC > Denon HT receiver and that set-up can handle anything in my library minus a few DSD albums.

Get a Sotm SMS or Rendu and stream your files via DLNA from the NAS over SMS or Rendu to Amp. It's the best for the sound.
