What it is:
The JRiver Id is a networked audio player that plays from your computer. You can control it from your phone.
The Id started life as JRiver's Imaginary Device. Imagine a few of these around your home. You can play to them from any computer, using a smart phone as your remote.
The Id is based on the Intel NUC. It's small (4"x4.5"x2"). It's cool and quiet.
At $395, it's very affordable.
It performs these functions.
DLNA Renderer -- When connected to an amplifier or DAC, you can play to it from any DLNA Server.
DLNA Server -- It can host your files and serve them to any DLNA Renderer.
Portable Media Player -- The Id can stand alone and play to any audio amplifier or DAC. It has a 120GB drive built in. The software takes about 20GB, so you have 100GB of storage. You can copy files to it from a PC or Mac since it runs a Samba Server.
