Another request for Streamer Transport options

@jwillox I have multiple copies of all important files. I shot professional sports for years as a second job/hobby and still sell archived images and most of those are also in the cloud.

Storage space is not an issue. Synology DS923+ with 48 TB (36 TB with RAID), main PC with 40 TB, secondary PC with 26TB.

I want both file types because I also have aftermarket sound systems in all our cars and some work better with Apple devices with ALAC files and others FLAC files on a USB.

The Lumin does look nice but I would prefer a product that doesn’t come from a Chinese owned company. Thanks.

You don't want Chinese gear, yet you're up to the nostrils in apple stuff...?

@devinplombier Reading is fundamental:

I avoid purchasing from Chinese owned companies if possible while realizing even if a company is US based, my preference, manufacturing could be in China. It seems a number of commonly recommended products are made by Chinese owned companies. I don’t judge others choices; it is just my personal preference.

Reading is indeed important, foggy; thank you for reminding us, lest we forget.

Paraphrasing then, some people are not so worried about Chinese industrialists and government getting rich making the products they themselves buy and own; or by Chinese workers being exploited as long as they’re being exploited by Americans. Unless, of course, I missed something.

@devinplombier

Please leave your political ranting and insults out of my thread. You know nothing about "some people" or their reasons and this is not the forum thread to find out. If you choose to purchase from Chinese owned companies, I'm not judging. If you don't want to purchase from US owned companies, that is your right as well. I'm just looking for a streamer.
