My streamer can go to the router via fiber, but can also use fiber to the NAS or any of my hard/flash drives. It is pretty cool because I have a network built into my streamer so I can just plug into the network and control my streamer from anywhere in my house.
Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files
Does anyone know any good / decent streamer that
(1) plays local PCM files up to 24/192 and DSD stored in usb stroage devices such as HDD / SSD; and
(2) controls music playing thru bluetooth (rather than wi-fi or plug-in internet) on cellphone or other palm-held devices?
I keep wondering why the streamer needs to get on wi-fi or internet to play local files and why all of the streamers I know do not control local files playing thru BT. I pretty much listen to music thru a collection of hi-rez file library but wish to have a fully functonal streamer for streaming music some day when I become tired of music file collection. Thanks.
