I am using squeezebox as my method for music streaming already a long time.
Till now I used the Logitech Duet and PC squeezelite player as my player clients. The limitation for the duet that they are only supporting 44.1kHz & 48kHz.
I was looking for higher bitrate support so the best solution I find is to use old iPhone/iPad and installing iPeng app and iPeng playback addon.
The setup is as follows:
- iPhone/iPad with iPeng app and iPeng playback installed.
- iPhone connected to the external DAC through Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter - Apple
- Using external DAC in my case I will use it with CM6631 USB to coax adapter and it is connected to my dbx VENU360.
This setup allows me to use iPeng or other Squeezebox control app running on my main iPad or iPhone to do the following:
- Play my own hi-res music library.
- Play hi-res music from Qobuz.
- Play music from Spotify , and maybe the lossless when they will release the Spotify HiFi.
This setup with the Airplay -ShairTunes2 plugin installed on the server can do the following:
- Play directly from iPhone or iPad any music application to the setup above as it will be recognized as Airplay device with bitrate of 44.1kHz.
- You can play your Amazon HD or Apple Music lossless with CD quality.
Also with UPnP/DLNA bridge and the UPnP/DLNA Media Interface plugins , the setup above will be recognize also as UPnP/DLNA Player.
Also you will be able to play your music from your Squeezebox serve on any other UPnP/DLNA player on your network.
I am not going here with the details of the Installation, as quick search will allow you to find most of the information .
