What is the Id?
The JRiver Id is a network device that can act as a player, server, or backup. The Id (rhymes with hid) plays high quality audio from a computer anywhere on the network. It can be controlled with a smartphone as a remote, using Gizmo (for Android), JRemote (for iOS), or any standard DLNA Controller.
The Id provides an easy connection from a computer to a sound system, even when they are at opposite ends of your home.
Starting at $315, the Id is also affordable.
Other models are available.
Quality Hardware
The standard Id hardware is an Intel NUC 6CAYH. It's small (4.3"x4.5"x2"). It's low power (8.0 watts), and cool.
The Id is also available on the Raspberry Pi.
JRiver Software
The Id is powered by a special version of JRiver Media Center for Linux. The device can update itself automatically.
Connects to Existing Audio Systems
The Id can use the speakers of any amplifier or TV that has HDMI ports. It can also feed RCA jacks with an 1/8" stereo to RCA cable or adaptor.
The Id works with most USB DAC's.
To play to or from a networked Id requires DLNA or UPnP software on the computer. That could be JRiver Media Center for Windows, Mac, or Linux.
Setup
Connect the Id (network, audio out, HDMI monitor, USB keyboard) and select the audio out you want (HDMI, USB, or 1/8" stereo analog), then reboot.
After that, you can remove the monitor and keyboard.
NAS Drives and USB Drives
The Id can use attached USB drives and NAS drives. On the Id's text menu, choose the option called "External Media Menu".
Using this menu, you can tell the Id to add (mount)the drive. Then in the Media Center menu, you can tell MC to import the files or to watch certain folders for certain types of files.
