wappinghigh Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Way to go! HEOS brings 24bit Hirez and DSD and Spotify Connect right into the heart of Control4.. and these tracks can be played out multiroom via a Control4 analog audio matrix (using the wonderful Denon DAC built into the HEOS Link...) 24 Bit, and DSD tracks can be found when you run the clever, easy to set up and lean linux based (an free) MinimServer DLNA server on a QNAP (or Synology) : See and search computeraudiophile.com on this... though the metadata tags built into MinimServer don't seem to be showing up well (it's buggy) in Control4..(or within Heos for that matter..so this may well be a HEOS thing)...LOL go figure... I'll have to work on that one.. DSD playback seems a bit buggy too but it's early days. Only just come in firmware. Anyway.. Add a HEOS LINK HS2 as a source into your rack for well under 500 bucks, and you can get 24bit, DSD and Spotify Connect right around the house via your Control4 setup... The tracks certainly play... How good is this! I'm pumped... Rock on Control4.. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wappinghigh Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 http://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=3025&page=2 known issue. HEOS problem. And DLNA. Gotta luv this hobby! W Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9800pro Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Sorry but why are you spamming daily with Heos? Are they paying you per thread or post? I don't think current situation with Sonos or Heos deserves this kind of attention. There are bigger issues within C4 than those two...

wappinghigh Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Nope. Of course I'm not being paid. Just an enthusiast that's all. P.S I've been around the traps long enough around here to know where this might be heading. We need open music streaming options. And as much choice as possible. Cheers.

9800pro Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Well unfortunately this forum isn't a place to make a difference. Try to get a hold of Bluesound. They work pretty good with C4 and with Vault you have yourself a music ripper. sent from my LG G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmurray14 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 No full spotify, no care. With the Sonos situation, they better find a way to keep the playlist/search functionality for Spotify or this is gonna end up being a HUGE issue. I can only imagine the reaction when thousands of customers lose the ability and no one has a good answer for why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
