Plexamp and plexserver on Pi4+
I have a Yamaha receiver to which I am intending to connect a Raspberry pi 4b with a HiFiberry digi+ hat via an optical cable.
My initial intention was to have both the plexamp and server on the same Pi but I am now thinking of putting the Plexserver on an Orange Pi5 I have spare and running the Plexamp on the Raspberry pi using RoPieee XL as the OS.
This means that I will have a more efficient server as it is connected to a Buffalo Link station so will do the uplift from there.
The Orange Pi5 is more than capable providing they I can get it all working
The only question in my mind is that it seems a little overcomplicated for the end result that I am looking for and ongoing maintenance will involve looking after two different hardware solutions.
I could of course simply install Volumio on the Raspberry pi and have a much simpler solution but, it wouldn't have all the functionality that the Plexamp solution has.
Had anyone else gone down a similar route and what would be your advice?
