I have an Antelope Platinum DAC connected to my PC via USB. The JRiver acts as the server to retrieve music from the ethernet NAS to the PC and out to the headphones connected to the DAC. I would be sure most similar DACs would be the same eg Chord, Ayre etc. It is the PC that does the music handling, not the DAC.
Need a headphones amp/dac solution that I can stream to from my NAS
Title kina says it all. I am looking for a piece of gear
that is:
A) headphone amp
B) DAC
C) can stream to from Network NAS without using any of my other
components so ethernet connection
D) Will work with JRiver (my current s/w)
E) Volume remote would be nice, but not a deal killer
F) Can work with a wide range of headphone impedances
G) Good sounding, does not have to be the best as I am just getting into the headphone aspect after years of being away
It will need to be something that will be recognized by the software as another
zone that can be streamed to.
I have found bits and pieces but as yet nothing as a single component, although I am not against multiple pieces if they have everything listed above.
HELP please you Oracles of Audio....
