Hello 21st century!
I've ordered a Devialet 110 amp, which has ethernet and wifi access, so it would be logical to go the rip-and-stream route. As it can play internet radio and Spotify too, I want to connect the amp to the internet.
The thing is: our house has no wired ethernet, and the wifi coverage is only so-and-so. The neatest solution IMO would be a wifi extender in the living room. And as I need a NAS too, I wondered if the DS213air could take care of both duties. Or would a NAS (wired to the router) and a separate wifi extender be the better solution?
My wife is not happy at all with my new purchase ("why a new amp? The old one wasn't broken, was it?"), so I need it to be perfect at once. The amp won't get a second chane to make a first impression...
Cheers for all input!
