![]() Done Turn off/on VM block_dump & Clean dmesg Countdown: 3 2 1 Start. The control point can be over wifi, since that is just passing commands and file locations, but the path from the stored music files to the CA streamer is better wired, IMO.Code: Select all # cp /share/Public/blkdevMonitor_20151225.sh /root # chmod 766 /root/blkdevMonitor_20151225.sh # /root/blkdevMonitor_20151225.sh = Welcome to use blkdevMonitor_v2 on Fri Jun 16 17:57:38 CEST 2017 = Stop klogd.sh daemon. There's nothing like the solidity of a wired connection. I have a great Ubiquiti wifi setup, with huge bandwidth, but there can still be dropouts and gaps. ![]() I prefer to run with ethernet to the CA streamer. This is not the place to spend the bulk of your hifi money, IMO.įinally - wifi. There are other versatile streamers, but they are either more PC-geeky (Raspberry Pi implementations) or overpriced high-end that isn't likely to sound any different to you. You will be able to do most anything you want, especially now that they also have built-in Chromecast, which will allow you to play to the CA directly from the Tidal or Qobuz app. Then the CA app on your iphone will see your music collection and let you browse it by album/genre, CA app has built-in capabilities for streaming radio - you can browse by genre, resolution, country, etc., and save your favorite stations to a preset. Both come with a Qnap or Synology, and take five minutes to set up. ![]() If not, just use Plex, or Emby, they make it easy for all the other genres, supplementing the metadata from the web. If you are a classical buff, get Minimserver and tag your collection. It won't play albums in sequence, do gapless, or any of that fun stuff that makes it easy. Using only a USB drive you have to navigate your directory structure and choose files. HOWEVER, a music server setup on a NAS makes it far, far easier to browse your collection. Get a small portable SSD drive and copy your music onto it. I don't think the Cambridge can browse the network and read drives - it can only do that if the music drive is connected by USB. If you want to take the Mac Mini out of the audio chain and use the NAS you would be better off running a music server program. As long as the Mac can see the NAS, you are fine. Plug it's USB out into the CA and you are good to go. If you are keeping the Mac mini in the chain, that, of course will work fine. They controlled the music via an iPad, either streaming locally stored music from what I assumed was a NAS and also via internet via Apple Music for music that was unavailable locally.įorgive my my basic questions but I am completely new to the streaming environment, either with a local or internet source. Seeing the Cambridge Audio network player demonstrated at a local dealer, it was not directly wired into their network but was receiving source music via WiFi. In planning to use a NAS connected to my home network (as a source for multi room music), would I just relocate my iTunes library to the NAS or would just transfer files to the NAS located in a single “music” folder? (And let whatever software that the network player uses to retrieve the music) Currently the computer directly feeds into my DAC which then feeds into my pre-amp. In regards to using an external HD, I just transferred my iTunes library so the library would not take too much space on my internal drive of my Mac mini.
