VersantNord Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I am presently streaming music in flac on my phone to a Chromecast audio connected by an optical cable to an Audiolab M-DAC. I am 67 years hold and not much of a computer guy. I would like to find a server to which I would connect a hard drive and wire it to my M-DAC. I have tried to use Plex on my computer. I have more than 5,000 CDs, 95% classical that I have ripped to a hard drive. Plex was not adequate because my library structure is for example Classical composers-Beethoven-Solo Instrumental Music- Piano-Piano Sonatas. When I ripped my library, I did not use many tags. Mostly Classical and Composers. With Plex, I ended up with to many CD labels to go through. I would like an app or a server that allow me to search what I want to listen to by digging into the file structure, a bit like File explorer in Windows. I have seen products like Cambridge or others but they all have their own dac and since I have a relatively good DAC, I want to continue to use it. I am looking for something that is easy to use as I am not technically oriented. I could also use a spare computer that I have and connect it to my DAC with a usb cable passed through the wall (I don't want the computer in my listening room because its fan is noisy). I am looking for a solution that would cost me between $500-1000. Link to comment
