You connect both your computer and the G1 to the same network they do not need to be physically connected. Connect the hard drive to the G1 with USB connect the G1 to the DAC. Use BubbleUpnp on a phone, tablet etc.. as the controller. Yes it is roon ready
Best WiFi Music Streamer Does it exist?
I have been looking for months and I can not find anything that will fulfill my needs.
I need the following:
Music Streamer or Server, internal DAC not wanted or needed, that can accept WiFi. I know the quality is allegedly better with an ethernet cord, but I do not have one available at the location of my system.
Accepts Tidal, MQA, Roon. MQA not mandatory but highly desired.
If it needs a smart phone, it must accept android. Apple products are not available and will never be.
I do have a Dell Windows 10 Computer nearby. It gets music from a hard drive and WiFi.
a) How would the Music server sound with a USB connection from the computer?
b) Should I get a special sound card or software for the computer and ignore getting a separate Music Server?
c) How will the music quality from the Computer to the DAC compare to a separate Music Server used in between the computer and the DAC?
d) How will the music quality from the Computer to the DAC compare to a separate WiFi Music Server to the DAC?
Quality is more important than price.
It will be hooked to good equipment;
Denafrips Terminator,
PS Audio BHK Signature Preamplifier
Pass Labs x260.8 monoblocks
Martin Logan Expression ESL 13a electrostatic speakers
If there is an audible difference, I will be able to hear it (within reason).
