NAS -> Plex -> Nest Audio (or other Google speakers) would achieve this. If your NAS doesn't support Plex, you could easily run it on a Raspberry Pi if it's just for music.
You'd have to look at alternatives for the media server (Plex) if you want to use a Homepod though .. I'm pretty sure Plex doesn't support AirPlay.
If it's just wireless audio you're after and not a "smart speaker" then there's some not-too-tricky ways to do this in the DIY space. snapcast for instance supports AirPlay and might integrate nicely into your current setup: https://github.com/badaix/snapcast https://github.com/badaix/snapcast
- colordrops 6y agoIt mostly works fine on a Raspberry Pi even for video. Though I'm not streaming 8k stuff, I've only got a 1080p TV.
- bravura 6y agoI have nice speakers I don't want to change. I used to control spotify and soundcloud through them using chromecast audio which is discontinued and the second one I bought off ebay doesn't work. I am open to playing MP3s off my NAS. I would even consider bluetooth since I rarely fiddle with the playlist. What is the best way to remote control a device that is wired to my mixer (XLR or 1/4 in or 1/8in jack)
- kingosticks 6y agoHave you looked at Mopidy?
- seabrookmx 6y agoDid you click my snapcast link? It natively supports Spotify connect and Airplay, so you'd connect your mixer to the Pi's 3.5mm jack (or use a supported DAC). You can also fashion a Chromecast audio out of a normal (video) Chromecast and an HDMI->audio adapter if you're looking to preserve the same experience.
