Thanks Ken,
And indeed, i have minim server running on my Nas, and the Pi will start in the secondary listening room. Pi+DAC+ it wil be for starters then. If it works out fine, ill just add a Pi + Digi+ for the main room
btw, my NAs is to simple a processor for Plex to run as it should, transcoding subtitels et all. Maybe a second Raspberry could be working as a server, for Plex and Minim server, reading from my Nas, and serving to the rendering raspberry+Dac.
That way i could solve both my NAs issues (too slow, not powerful enough), and experiment with the Pi for under 200 euro;s. Magic!
Cheers,
Marius
Up to you, of course... if you already have a nice DAC, like a Bryston, you would want to use it, no?
I think the R-Pi + DAC options (e.g. IQaudIO) are best suited for secondary listening rooms, where space is a premium and you just want one small box.
EDIT: to answer your question, however: you will need a separate computer to run MinimServer, with Volumio running on the Pi+DAC. Volumio has pre-built images on their web site. Similar for MinimServer, but you need a real platform to run it. Many have success running MinimServer on popular NAS boxes, like QNap and Synology. I run my instance on an older Mac Mini.
