That will be good as I have yet to successfully setup BBC Radio in RuneAudio.... more of an issue with the BBC and its bizarre new approach to radio streamingQuote:

James.... you're iMac would connect to the router via wireless as it normally does. The NAS box would show up as a storage device, would look like another computer. Out of the box it has a shared folder which you would see on you iMac and could copy music to it.Quote:

You're welcome :) I already went down this road configuring RuneAudio for RPi2/HiFiBerryDigi+, so if you need I can provide you some help when you're ready with the pi-dac.Quote:

Great, thanks :thumbsup:
It would also mean that there is enough current to power a 2.5" hard drive from the USB port of the Pi if you want to store your music locally rather than play over the network. I'm about to build one configured like this for a friend, so I might just try one of these.
