I want to play my music via plex and feed it to my dac via usb or coax (ideally i2s). Right now I use a pi2aes and roopiee to play music from my roon core.

Have you considered installing Plexamp headless on your Pi? [image] Plexamp on the Raspberry Pi Plex Labs (Making this a pinned thread until we have better instructions/links on the website.) OK, ready to have some fun? Make sure you have a 64-bit capable Raspberry Pi …

I did but someone on our audio discord mentioned that pi kinda sucks for accessing databases because sd cards suck for this purpose (installing an os that accesses databases). Are there any other devices besides a pc that would work ?

Huh? So DCS network streamer, bricasti m5, lumin u1/u2, bricasti bdp3 are android based? What audiophile streamers are android based? Can plex even work with bluesound node?

Plexamp can use Airplay and Chromecast. But you don’t get gapless playback with android chromecast. A very good little streamer that I use with my plexamp setup is the WiiM Pro. Excellent device. You have to set up the WiiM with a phone app, but you then can see it in plexamp and send plexamp to…
