Chris, Yes, the protocol that I use is UPnP, and I currently use JRiver in preference to the Naim app. for improved library management and tagging reasons. My confusion/lack of understanding is whether it is possible to use JRiver as the "casting" solution (connection manager?) on the remote Zoneripper server and also simultaneously as the the control point on for renderer, 200 miles away - in my mind, one instance of JRiver running on the server is being interacted with by another on the laptop! I would be interested in your thoughts. Cheers, Robert

Chris, This is an utterly intriguing article. However, I have one question that is somewhat beyond my network technician pay-grade. I work some 200 miles away from home, so make the round trip at the beginning and end of the week. In order to have streamed music at both locations my current set-up is to have my Zoneripper and Naim streamer at my "home" and a basic NAS and Naim setup at my "other home". This causes minor hassles with synchronizing libraries, reduced storage capacity of the NAS etc. If I am able to stream the library to my small Lenovo netbook (emails, web browsing etc), as per your laptop scenario, would it then be possible to forward it to the Naim to render, or am I restricted to direct attaching a DAC to the netbook? Waiting with baited breath! Cheers, Rob
