Another task for this wet and windy day off is to get my local flac music streaming experience more polished than this, never really like the Cambridge Audio software. @witewulf #hifi

@matt303 @witewulf got a streammagic many years ago and ended up using it as a DAC from raspberry picoreplayer as the software was dreadful and couldn’t cope with my music library and took an age to load before I could play a track

@vnvobit @witewulf I've a CNX v2 but really wonder if I'm using it for much now I've a Chord 2Qute DAC sat between it and the amp. Found myself just using Apple Music rather than my own music collection because Sream Magic app is ugly.

@matt303 @witewulf came to the conclusion some time ago that pre-made streamers aren’t as flexible a set up as a SBC with a separate DAC and then to amp.

@vnvobit @witewulf I've added a UPnP bridge plug in to LMS and now it can see the Cambridge CNX so I should be able to use any app that works with LMS/UPnP

@vnvobit i bought a PiDAC years ago, but couldn’t find a software front end I got on with. I think I tried volumio and RuneAudio at the time.

@vnvobit that was accessing an smb share, rather than a proper library, though. Now I have all my music in Plex (which is accessible via upnp) I may give it another go.

@witewulf I double up as run both LMS and Plex on the same music library. LMS for playing in the house, Plexamp when I am away

@vnvobit I’ve been really impressed with Plexamp, it’s a feature they should make more noise about. The UI is quirky, for sure, but it does a great job

@witewulf not sure why but is better than iPeng (iOS squeezebox controller/player) at streaming to HomePods. If I switch track in iPeng I get some strange noises but never from plexamp
