Welcome. You will enjoy the squeezebox. melomania;432494 Wrote: > I want to stream audio from a NAS unit to my amplifier in the living > room and control it (select the music to play etc) by my iPhone. > So I do not want to use the remote control from logitech. > > Can I just buy a Squeezebox Receiver and NAS storage, connect them, and > control this with for instance using the iPeng application on the > iPhone? > I really would like that!! Yes you can do it. However, most would recommend purchasing a squeezebox classic, since you get a screen, a remote (handy for setup for one thing, or if you misplace your iPhone for another!), and their wifi and general performance has been favourable. Particularly for starting out. I have not used NAS for Squeezebox Server, but I do understand it entirely depends on your NAS. What are you using? Many have opted for low-power 'proper' PCs for this application, leaving NAS for, well, 'S' - storage. melomania;432494 Wrote: > If doing that, can I switch the Squeezebox on and off with the iPhone > too? Yes you can sleep/wake and turn off/on using iPeng. Wake on Lan again depends on the configuration of your NAS and *most* require a wired server adn compatible router for that role. I have found iPeng handles WOL beautifully with my server, which is wired to the wireless router, which then serve my SBs. Best of luck. Post the specifics of your NAS and the NAS pros will take over from here. -- Dingostrategy Lounge: SB3 + Genelec 6010A | Kitchen: SB3 + $80 bookshelf stereo.
