Leave your desktop computer and your HD’s where they are. Rip your CD’s to your desired format. Setup UPnP/DLNA on the computer. Get a Simaudio Moon Mind 2 Network Player ($1900). It will stream from your computer and works with Tidal/Roon. etc........Plug the Mind2 into your OPPO (since you like its DAC) and presto. I use the Mind 2 plugged directly into my pre/pro over AES and it sounds fantastic. I stream Tidal from it, as well as all the content from my MacPro.
Need help. Music server and streaming. Newbie.
Still pretty new to streaming....considering what I currently have, which way do I need to go?
I currently have a desktop computer in a room adjacent to the room of my main system.
I want to start eliminating cds and sacds from the main system room.
so, I want some type of server in main system or streaming from my desktop.
I have an Oppo UDP-205 that does some streaming. Not sure it’s capabilities. I have an iPad.
Without running an ethernet cable between rooms, can I get at least cd-quality sound to stream music from my desktop to main system over wifi with a network player?
I had been looking at music servers like the Sony HAP-Z1es or Blusound Vault 2i that would store everything....and I was leaning toward these.
Or do I need to look into a laptop computer and dac setup? (I don’t currently have any laptop).
Also Trying to keep cost under $2k.
Thanks for any input...
