Get an NAS external hard drive (ethernet connection) and connect it to your wireless router. Most wireless routers have at least a couple of ethernet ports too. Then direct Slimserver to make your music library directory the HDD on the router. Laptop will then control the music on networked HDD.
Squeezebox interfacing???
Ok.
Please help me clarify the functional aspect of the following ideal system for me please...
Components...
Laptop (Basic Dell)
SQ3
DAC (PS Audio Link)
Pre-amp (Adcom)
Amp (Adcom)
Speakers
Connectivitity.
1. Laptop wirelessly sees the SQ using the software with the SQ.
2 SQ is ethernet connected to a fast external hard drive and pulls the files out of HD.
3. SQ outputs optically to DAC.
4. DAC does it's wonders and RCA's out to pre-amp.
5. Pre-Amp would STILL be the main component to affect volume and sound adjustments.
Pushing songs through the system can be done through the computer interface AND/OR with the SQ device right?
This mean there are atleast two components a person would have to interface with in order to play and control the system.
Archaic... but will function, please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Thank you
