Next step into Digital Streaming

I recently stepped into the world of digital streaming thanks to many of the discussions I read on this site and a couple others. Your advice and recommendations have been invaluable, thanks much. I acquired a Bluenode 2ia few months ago to get a taste of this world and I couldn't by happier.

I have my main audio/ht system down in the dungeon and that's where the node went, I also have another smaller audio/ht system up in the living room that I would now like to add streaming to. Cabling is possible but not easy so I'm leaning towards another streamer just for the convenience.

I have a collection on my own music that I would like to incorporate into a server/streamer as running it from the computer means i have to leave the computer running all the time, this is not my first choice as it is only used occasionally.  The house is cabled with Cat 6 so all locations "talk" to each other. 

Can I setup a server/streamer in the dungeon, load up my tunes and access them using a streamer in the living room? Is this a good way to expand?

You can set up a NAS plugged into your router and access it from any where, That’s what I did and it has movies and music loaded up as a media server.

If you are getting a second streamer stay with the Bluos OS, either Bluesound or NAD products. I have a Node and it is OK, the NAD C-658 is a big step up in SQ and has Dirac room correction too. I would put the NAD in the dungeon and move the Node to the secondary system. If you have questions on setting up the NAS just post.
