Music Streaming Update 29Jan19

I upgraded my JRiver Media Center v23 to v25 today, for ~$20, and for an extra $6 I got a Master License (vs Win only) allowing me to install it on as many machines as I own, whatever their location. I used the Library Server capability to migrate my internal streaming service to my main Win7 server (now co-located on the same device as the media). I then set my Win10 notebook  to client MC25 and installed MC25 on my MBPro - again I set it to client. I now can stream HD quality, mainly FLAC at ~1Mbps, from my Blodgett server to my headphone systems, with independent DACs, both @ Blodgett and @ the Nest. Very cool. I can stream to iOS and Android devices too but I'll limit that to 320Kbps in case I am doing it on LTE; I don't wanna overdo the data charges - plus, the iDevice reproduction systems aren't really of sufficient fidelity to warrant FLAC. I've been looking to test this capability for a while - today I took the time to wring it all out. Meanwhile, I cancelled recent trials of Amazon Unlimited and Pandora Premium - they just aren't worth the monthly $ to me.

UPDATE 12Feb19 - The full remote testing of streaming FLAC is complete. It's awesome. Here I show streaming The Killers into Summit from my server in COS at >1Mbps.
