RustyPrelude Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hi everyone, I'd like to know if I'm getting what I can from my FLAC files - CD rips and HD - while listening at work. My setup: Synology server at home (wired connection-5 meg upload) -> work pc (wired connection-huge bandwidth) -> Audeze Sine headphones. I log into my Synology through FireFox and use Synology Audio Station. I've been considering getting a DragonFly Red usb DAC for my headphones. Am I missing anything else that would improve my listening experience here at my cube? I lock my headphones up at night and could do that with the DragonFly, too. Should I get the JRiver media player? I appreciate your thoughts on this. Aaron Link to comment
ShawnC Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 In Jriver you'll have to reconfigure your router to let the stream go outside your home network. Jriver with Jremote may give you a richer playlist/playback options. I'm not familiar with Synology's app functions. A lot of the flexibility in Jriver is setting up detailed playlists. I stream from home to my iphone but I limit HiRes to 24/48. This is displayed on the Jremote app. Not sure if this is actually doing this or not. Most of my content is 16/44, so I leave it at that. The only time I'm using data is when I'm in my car or outside exercising (walking, biking or rollerblading). I love Jriver for this single feature. I can also stream from my NAS cloud back up but that's just press and play, no playlists.
