Airplay Receiver (Audio)

Post by setfield »

I'm looking for a way to play audio through my QNAP from my iPhone or iPad. Before I switched to a QNAP TS-473 I was able to do this on my Mac Mini (my previous home server) with an app called AirFoil Satellite: https://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/satellite/.

I see they offer a linux version. Should I be able to use this for the QNAP?

Thanx!

Through your QNAP ? (it has no audio ports) or from your QNAP ? (Tons of options in terms of media serving)

Thanks for the response @dolbyman!

Through the QNAP to a USB connected DAC. Is this even possible? :-)

No idea if there is still support for DAC stuff, I treat my NAS as server only. Players are all external (much better support and less can go wrong on firmware updates)
