Thanks. 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. Currently the computer directly feeds into my DAC which then feeds into my pre-amp.
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)
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. 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.
Forgive my my basic questions but I am completely new to the streaming environment, either with a local or internet source.
