I was wondering, before purchasing the Airport Extreme Review: Apple's AirPort Extreme is a safe choice | Macworld, if it was possible to connect my 3 Sony Airplay speakers https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=SANS310&LOC=3#/howtoTab to the 3 LAN Ports of the Airport Extreme and airplay simultaneously as multi-room audio from my Iphone without using iTunes ? Thanks for your cooperation. Regards Oliver

Is anyone using a solution whereby the music source output ( computer, NAS, renderer, etc.) is going into a DAC via an ethernet connection? Cheers

audiolinux Designing a RAID Roon Server w/ HQPlayer upsampling
NellyWhads posted a topic in Music Servers
Hey folks, I've done some reading here on AS and have seen the monumental audiophile PC builds. Sleek fanless chassis with solely solid state storage, LPSUs, and dedicated clocks/USB output cards. It's quite impressive. In my case, I am looking to build a LAN-enabled beast which will not be hosting any local USB audio equipment in the foreseeable future. If it does ever require direct USB output, I will add something like a PPA USB card with a dedicated OCXO clock and an external LPSU just for the USB output. For now, the system will solely and exclusively be serving audio over wired LAN to my SOtM SMS-200 Neo w/ battery power supply. Now, for the actual server, I'm hoping to set up an 8-bay chassis with an i7 7700k cpu and 16 gigs of ram. I will most likely need a SATA expansion card to support the increased number of storage bays, but that shouldn't be too bad to source. Would an OS like AudioLinux be okay to host this sort of storage setup while it runs roon server and hqplayer for me? Or will I have too much redundant re-set-up to perform every time AL is updated? As of right now, the only component I would need to purchase to make this happen is a chassis (like the Silverstone CS381B). I have tried AudioLinux and like it so far for its simplicity when serving music off of my SSD (haven't delved into RAMRoot or any other specific latency settings just yet). Will using AudioLinux on a roon/hqplayer server PC still make an audible difference? Will using AudioLinux on a non-hardware-optimized PC (No custom clocks, fna-enabled cooling, spinning hard disks, etc.) still make an audible difference over the network? Thanks for your time, Nelly- 18 replies
