I've built this network music player, DAConnector, available at

or

Please have a test drive and let me know what you think, regarding ease of use, functionality and most of all, sound quality, so I can improve it.

 

Your comments are most welcomed.

 

Thanks.

Looks like music player & proprietary server combo device. Is there any way of disabling its own music library cataloguing & supply function, getting it to use an existing UPnP/DLNA server as music library source over the network instead, ie using the device just as a UPnP/DLNA renderer?

Thanks for your interest in the DAConnector.

 

The original design is to be as simple and economical as possible, I think a NAS running SMB is the most common file sharing method these days. That's why I chose this as the source.

 

UPnP/DLNA server as a music source is definitely an option, I do have plans to include UPnP file serving, but to be certified DLNA compatible requires $$$ which this project cannot afford right now. Hope it'll get enough support in the future to include that feature.

would not run on either of my 2 AMD Phenom II based PC's. Linux shell would install but DAConnector errors out

Is there any error message on the console? Do you have the network connected?
