Squeezebox interfacing???

Ok.

Please help me clarify the functional aspect of the following ideal system for me please...

Components...
Laptop (Basic Dell)
SQ3
DAC (PS Audio Link)
Pre-amp (Adcom)
Amp (Adcom)
Speakers

Connectivitity.
1. Laptop wirelessly sees the SQ using the software with the SQ.

2 SQ is ethernet connected to a fast external hard drive and pulls the files out of HD.

3. SQ outputs optically to DAC.

4. DAC does it's wonders and RCA's out to pre-amp.

5. Pre-Amp would STILL be the main component to affect volume and sound adjustments.

Pushing songs through the system can be done through the computer interface AND/OR with the SQ device right?

This mean there are atleast two components a person would have to interface with in order to play and control the system.

Archaic... but will function, please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Thank you

Simplify the NAS stuff...

Change to an Airport Extreme Base Station and hang a regular hard drive off it's USB port. Anything with network connectivity can see the drive.

If you need more than one remote drive, buy a USB hub,connect it to the Airport Extreme Base Station and connect your drives to the hub.

In addition to sharing you music files, you can also share anything else you wish between your laptop and desktop computers.
