Streaming Device for Stereo

[reachkalyan.kr]

Hi all,
I am looking for streaming/Transport device which can stream from NAS ( with help of Android device - )
Basic requirements for dedicated stereo setup

1) NAS => PC ( controlled by Android apps)=> DAC=> IA/Poweramp/stereo amp/Receiver
2) Controlled by Bubble upnp /Plex similar Android apps ( Cheaper paid and minimal degrade in sound quality)
3)Folder wise search option is not happening with Heos ( Marantz SR series ),Music cast(RN803 ) hope WXC 50 also works the same. But BubbleUPnP is supporting the same but i am bit skeptical ( may be it is downgrading the audio quality with Android Box ?!)
4) I have few CCA lying around .is it wise choice taking CCA optical out and DAC directly instead going for PC .
will I miss something if I go by CCA optical and DAC compared to PC and DAC.
Tried to figure out single box solution but few things is not working out for my requirement.
I have couple of NUC and DAC with me if in case that can help to guide me for the workaround.

Suggestions pls !

Hi. I am using the Heos app with my Denon receiver. I find the app really good - able to browse folders on my NAS. Can you clarify what you find missing in the app.

Search option is missing. May be it is for me.
Have to scroll down the complete library for selecting a folder.
Check for yourself and let me know.

Just got the Audiolab 6000N Play from HiFiMart. It trumps my previous Raspi 2-DragonFly 1.2 rig. The DTS Play-Fi App is a bit iffy. But, makes up for the quality. The streamer easily recognizes my Win Server and Synology NAS, both hard wired. Though, you need a WiFi connection to setup the device.

What Amp do you use with the 6000N and what speakers
I've just ordered 6000N & 6000A today.
But just can't decide on the speakers. I prefer bookshelf speakers.

I use an AP Swara pre amp and Odyssey Kismet Reference power. Speakers are Aurum Cantus 620s.

Hi, I have put up Squeezebox Touch on sale, which can stream via SPDIF / Optical. Let me know if you are interested.

Just a heads up on the Audiolab. Spotify works, Amazon Music doesn't. At least, not from an iPhone. That said, I found it easier to change sources from the IOS device viv-a-vis an Android.
The DTS Play Fi app is a work in progress IMHO.

Bluesound is a fantastic option too.

There does appear to be a search option - see attached screenshot.

I don't use it, because I have organised my folders in a way which I like. I prefer to browse through folders.

@argho not able to find the search option when Iam selecting as Music servers (NAS Synology DS218+ thru WiFi) .Only for This phone search options shows .Can u reconfirm. May be this is limited version for AVR ? Images attached step by step.

I does show a search option for my NAS, but doesnt seem to work when I try it.
Maybe I need to index the files on my NAS ? Dont know.

Here are my screen shots.

Hi all,

My friend is trying to setup a compact stereo system for his Kiddo... he has a pair of JBL control one speakers which he wants to hook up and was looking for an inexpensive way to do it.

Needs input on how to get the very best audio possible while streaming over Bluetooth, that lets you not only stream music from your Android (or any portable device that supports Bluetooth 3.0 or higher with A2DP) or computer, but will sound as good as you want it to sound.

TIA
