Ability to stream music via Qnap USB output to DAC

[hanmak17]

Hi all,

I have spent quite a bit of time researching this and find a lot of questions, but no answers to date.

System components:
-Qnap TS-251 (music files are FLAC, well organized and properly tagged)(connected via USB output directly to Dacmagic)
-Dacmagic Plus (connected via unbalanced outputs to Azur 551r)
-CA Azur 551R
-Paradigm Studio 40v2

Objective:
- Ability to access and stream music directly from Qnap USB output >>> DacMagic+>>>>AV reciever, using mobile device or laptop as desired
- Stream highest resolution audio possible, without transcoding at NAS level, using bit perfect, let DAC do its thing

Questions:
- What is a simple, effective SW based music serving solution which will stream music via setup above from NAS to DAC?
- (Tried the Qnap music SW, don't like it. Looked at Plex but quickly got lost)
- Ideally want to be able to use mobile device to control media and stream to the system setup above, is this possible?
- Have downloaded Plex but cannot figure out how to identify, and direct music to stream to DM+ via USB interface. Is this even possible?
- Can Kodi accomplish this?
- If not Plex or Kodi, then what is recommended solution?

Other considerations:
- I am using HTPC with XMBC to store & stream movies through the same system (less DAC) via HDMI thru Azur to TV and sound system.
- As mentioned, using XMBC for the media server in this instance, thus Kodi would seem to be attractive option.

Appreciate assistance with this.

if you want the best music experience, have the loud NAS serve the files in a different room and use a local playback device to playback your audio (passive cooled NUC, compute stick, etc) via the playback software of your choice
