I have Oppo 205 and Sony HAP-Z1ES. The 205 is a lot better, especially when using XLR analog output. I agree with @mahler123 suggestion you can start with connecting USB drive to Oppo 205 USB port, but please note that you will get better sound quality playing CD/SACD directly on 205. Playing from USB drive gives the convenience of selecting folders/tracks from Oppo app on phone/tablet.
Need help. Music server and streaming. Newbie.
Still pretty new to streaming....considering what I currently have, which way do I need to go?
I currently have a desktop computer in a room adjacent to the room of my main system.
I want to start eliminating cds and sacds from the main system room.
so, I want some type of server in main system or streaming from my desktop.
I have an Oppo UDP-205 that does some streaming. Not sure it’s capabilities. I have an iPad.
Without running an ethernet cable between rooms, can I get at least cd-quality sound to stream music from my desktop to main system over wifi with a network player?
I had been looking at music servers like the Sony HAP-Z1es or Blusound Vault 2i that would store everything....and I was leaning toward these.
Or do I need to look into a laptop computer and dac setup? (I don’t currently have any laptop).
Also Trying to keep cost under $2k.
Thanks for any input...
