Not sure how much I want to spend but I'm not really an audiophile... put it this way, the reason I ripped to flac was that I could tell the difference from mp3, in a direct comparison, just (probably using Bose QC25s). But really don't want to spend on quality that I won't appreciate.
Maybe I need to do more homework. I was surprised at the dedicated streamer recommendation, what I've been looking at so far integrates that function. But even more surprised that another server is suggested. Now that I think about it, I guess I've unknowingly been using one that's integrated with the NAS. But I do need more functionality, the apps I've tried so far don't seem to have shuffle, would minim/plex give me that? And would the software run on the NAS (Synology), or...?
I've been looking at the Sonos and Audio Pro multiroom offerings, is that a reasonable road to go down, or do I need to supply more info? I have an ancient hifi amp+spkrs but haven't used it in years and not sure if it's worth much now... Wharfedale Dovedale 3 spkrs and Technics SU-Z11 amp.
