#1 New digital source & storage solution

I need a second streaming solution for when I come to Owston and other venues away from my home network. Ideally I would like to cobbler up a box that has a hard drive with all my music on, the streamer and a CD drive to load more albums to the hard drive. I was looking at how to do attach a SSD to the plug computer so Dalphile could see it... more challenging than I initially thought as an interim step.

Reading on some forums that some are finding Volumio or MoOde superior in SQ to Dalphile, so it looks like I need to expand my horizons. The plan is use a spare I7 3.2k plug computer for this. Looks like MoOde can only be installed on a Pi, so may have to be Volumio.

Anyone got experience of these front end software packages, and are their anymore that can be thrown into the mix?

Anyone got experience of using this streaming software.https://audirvana.com/. Some mixed messages about it. I suppose I can load what ever onto the computer and reflash the drive if it doesn’t live upto expectation.

Been playing with a few different players.... dont think there is any SQ difference. So will stick with the GUI i know - so use Dalphile.

Challenge is away from the home network how do i control it as its a web based interface. Has the options to set up a WIFI connection but is this of any use unless i hotspot to it.

Ideally what i would like to do is attach a 12" touch screen to the NUC, so i can control things directly without a network. Is there any way to "fool the web based interface" so it be just a standalone computer with a screen?

Cant you just setup a local wifi network on one of the non routed IP classes?

Or have I missed something?

Just looking up what a none routed IP class is... I would say yes. Just need to work how to do it now.
