Hello everyone! I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong forum.
I've got a pretty beefy type-1 hypervisor server that I'm using for various things (including a NAS server that holds my music collection). Due to its size and the noise it produces, it is located in my basement, pretty far away from my stereo system.
I plan to use it as a Daphile server as well (as far as I know Daphile is a customized and optimized LMS running on a highly sanitized Linux Gentoo system that only supports x86/x64 platforms. Is there any drawbacks of using it instead of plain LMS on a Linux-based OS? What's the general consensus on Daphile here?).
I would then get a cheap Raspberry Pi board and attach it to my stereo system and my LAN via ethernet. The Pi would hold a Squeezelite installation that feeds my DAC (which I remind you that it's far apart from the Daphile server) with bit perfect audio (is it even possible to get bit perfect audio from it?). I would control the Squeezelite client with my Android devices using Orange Squeeze.
Additionally, I would stream audio to my Windows PC using Squeezelite-X and my Android devices using Squeeze Player & Orange Squeeze.
I also plan to stream audio remotely to my Android devices using ZeroTier (a VPN-like software supported by Daphile). Bonus question: let's say I'm not home and I want to feed my headphones Amp/DAC with bit perfect audio using my Android device (assuming that I have a very strong WiFi/4G signal), will it be possible?
Thanks for taking the time to read my thread!
