SOtM sms - 100 mini sever.

Posted by: Bob the Builder on 31 January 2018

I'm awaiting the arrival of the above unit, it is slightly old for a network streamer (2014) but I'm a sucker for a bargain and configured in the right way it can do everything I ask of a streamer and that is stream Tidal, iRadio and handle everything up to DSD into th isolated usb socket on my 2Qute but it can also if I want stream  Qubuz or use Airplay.  

I will use the Squeezelite platform which means using something called iklestream I believe it is supposedly plug and play but anyone with any knowledge of Squeezelite out there I would be grateful of your tips and also tips put simply on the physical set up.

Like many network devices it benefits from an external psu so any tips on a suitable 9 - 12 volt (I think) either linear or battery supply between £100  - 200 would also be gratefully received.

A lot of people seem to swear by the Uptone LPS-1 or sbooster for this kind of thing.
