This is interesting, thank you.I do have a server that does storage (a T20/Win 10 with a RAID5 array) which I'm currently upgrading the CPU of to account for potential increase hardware demand in case I'd want more stuff running on it. This could well serve such duty, it seems to me. Not sure how to implement all that yet.
To add - it's not that much that I have multiple areas to play, it's more that I want to keep the gear footprint low. As few cables as possible, small boxes, etc. - and most of my stuff is heavy (tubes, early solid state, etc.). Spouse acceptance factor a concern. The gateway, (1)AP, router, server, printer is in a large wall nook kind of thing, away from my main system, and overall there's about a dozen different computers and other IPs spread throughout the house. Also, a few other wifi broadcast points scattered around the house.
Anyway, the main thing here is that the main system is currently served by a WaveIO/DDDAC1543, and needs to be wireless for any digital playback. I am going to try the piCorePlayer OS (likely investigate PINN as a multi boot loader, so I can keep the current Raspberry Pi OS with software I already have running on there, but be able to switch...)
