anyone tried Daphile? I have 1 netbook lying around and decided to try daphile on it during the weekend, surprisingly it sound good using my USB dac, It can also play spotify but with premium subscription only. the good thing is that I can control it with any web enable device that is connected in my home network, and can also be controlled by any squeezebox client. and it can use multiple output device and can play simultaneously, great for multi zone.
you can create a live-usb if you just wanna try it and don't want to install on the machine.
