hello folks!
pls bear with another newbie inquiry. i am in the process of setting up a dedicated music server. i am considering a fanless mini pc of which i will indicated below the possible options. this will be running daphile only as its OS. per daphile site there are indicated specs for RAM, etc.
here are the fanless mini pc options:
1. the more expensive:

2. the slightly cheaper option with downgradeable specs per vendor:
https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/...n-for-pfsense-firewall-router-i435482458.html
spec wise i would opt to buy something that would fit my needs, not something overkill. the objective here is to set up daphile in the fanless mini pc music server. my ipad functioning as a remote. as a total newbie i am taking a plunge into alien territory here hoping i will not screw anything up in the set up process. i am guessing this is as simple as it goes so if anyone out there has any bright ideas please fill me in. by the way, the chuwi comes with windows10 installed. running daphile i believe will render this useless or even delete it during the installation process. should i decide to utilize windows10 are there any other music server options i may consider bearing in mind that i need to access oll of this via ipad. lastly, this server will also have to stream spotify connect. cheers!
