Basically the same what the Squeezebox community did years ago.
Let the server do the decoding and send plain raw PCM to the renderer.
The Well Tempered Computer
Hi and thanks a lot for the valuable explanation.
Actually i am trying to simplify my system.
While i imagine that best renderers, being dedicated and designed specifically for the purpose, can give the best performance, i am only looking for a "musical" esperience that makes me want to go on with listening.
Not fatiguing, relaxed but with nice detail.
I understand that is a challenge with a pc based system.
But i am also confident that it could be done.
For me the choice of OS and player SW is decisive.
Then an only decent HW could be up to the task quite easily.
Moreover i have now a nice usb to aes converter.
I am impressed how the sound does not change that much changing pc upstream the converter.
The sound is always bearable.
Even with very cheap media player.
My reference is the spdif out from a Squeezebox Touch, just to show that i have absolutely no prejudice against rendererd.
Actually the contrary.
I have another huge renderer from Shanling .. and it sounds OK.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

Really not that hard. I have been doing it for the longest time. Many others also. This is not the best place for learning though. I would suggest.

Hi and thanks for the link !
I should have that budget is not sky high ,,,
actually i wonder what is the price of admission to get good sound.
Just to understand if i have to stop dreaming ...
The objective is a good AES digital signal out of a pc.
I am firm on AES ...
Thanks again.

They are saying that you should have two computers under JPlay for 'best' result. Goto their website and forum.
Hi !
thanks for the helpful reply
i think that is too much for me.
Actually i am trying to simplify my system even if this means just a decent sound in the end.
I am trying to learn something about OSs at present to select the best one.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
