I'm looking for some advice from anyone who might have crossed this road before.
I am looking for a wi-fi media streamer, something that connects to my network and reads my media servers. I run Logitech Media Server and my Android UPNP program reads it great and streams music from its headphone jack.
I'd like that same capability from a dedicated device such as the Squeezebox that is capable of decoding 24/96 flac files. My phone chokes on them and I'd like it to have audio-outputs so I can run audio into a two-channel amp.
I have a Squeezebox Classic, I've had it for years and years and love it. I would buy another one in a second but Logitech no longer makes it and it's likely that support for it will decline in coming years.
But I'm thinking there has to be an alternative. Not one of those $1K+ high-end boxes either, I think this task should be performed at around $200.
This is proving more challenging than I thought.
