RE: What does MicroRendu do ?

Posted by Dave_K on February 25, 2017 at 08:17:43:
The microRendu is a network music player with one Ethernet input and one USB output. You stream music to it over the network and it delivers it to a USB DAC.

It is low power computer running Linux plus a selection of different open source audio streaming clients (SqueezeLite, MPD, ShairPort), HQ Player Embedded, and Roon. Each of these clients is a different output mode.

It can play your audio files streamed from a computer running LMS, Roon, or HQ Player. Or from a NAS running a DLNA server. It can also play Tidal streams via various means, and other streaming services with LMS, or AirPlay from an Apple device. In most modes, you control it from a computer. In MPD mode you control it from a DLNA control point app.
