This is an interesting article and gives me a great path to try. This may be obvious to most, but I don't understand how it will play audio files from a NAS. I take it JRiver would need to be loaded onto this device. How is that done?
I currently use JRiver from my MacBook connected via USB to my DAC and control with JRemote from my IPad. This is awkward as I am always needing to reconnect, etc when I want to listen to audio, with the beagle one I expect I could leave it connected and powered on.
