Network audio servers : Innuos, etc

[nbaptista]

Besides Innuos and Bluesound there are another alternatives? I want a music server to rip my cd´s, and after stream it!

Ive been through a few options. A QNAP NAS into a Schiit DAC has been my favourite option.

I use Audirvana on Macbook Pro and use XLD to rip CD. Not as good as an InnuOs though.

Lumin streamers are good, I use a D2.

You wouldn't be disappointed Mike, very good sounding bits of kit and very user friendly. I had mine out of the box and up and running in 10 minutes.

Another vote for this, easy to use. EAC may be free but it's not the most user friendly.

I've been using a novafidelity x40 for a while now, brilliant bit of kit, ripper, server, player,internet streaming,decent pre amp , can be used as a digital hub:)

I bought the SOtM 200 on PFM the other day, just waiting to collect it from the sorting office. In theory it should be about the best VFM streamer out there from what I've read.
