How does Max2Play Multiroom with HiFiBerry Work?

Here we will answer some basic questions so you can get started with your Multiroom system right away.
Getting Started: Head here for the first steps of your setup!

How many Raspberry Pi's do I need for a Multiroom system?

Since Max2Play can house both players and the central server on one device, synchronized playback between different rooms is already possible with just 2 Raspberry Pi's.

Which HiFiBerry sound card do I need for which multiroom zone?

• When using passive speakers, a HiFiBerry AMP2 should be used. Or, if you have a smaller passive speaker you can use a MiniAmp. 
• If you want to use active speakers or the analogue input of your home stereo system, you can pick the version of the HiFiBerry DAC+ you prefer.
• If you already have a great DAC you should select aHiFiBerry Digi+ to include it in your Multiroom system.

What can use to feed my music to Max2Play OS?

With our Multiroom solution you can use the following playback sources to play music:

• AirPlay
• Spotify, Google Music Premium
• DLNA/UPNP
• Network-Shares (NAS, QNAP)
• USB-Storage (hard drives, thumb drives)
• Bluetooth
• Online Radio

How can I control playback of all my multiroom zones?

There are several ways to play music and synchronize playback on the different players in Max2Play Multiroom. Some of them are:

• Jivelite Graphic Control Interface - This is the built-in solution for Max2Play, a graphic user interface that can be used via touchscreen or with any physical control device over any connected screen like keyboard, remote control or mouse. It allows access to all Multiroom players from the Raspberry Pi of your choice.
• Smartphone and Tablet Apps - There are various apps for controlling or interacting with the Squeezebox system, both free and premium options on Android and iOS. Additionally, you can use apps for DLNA/UPNP as well as AirPlay for each zone.
• Squeezebox web interface - Immediately after installing the Squeezebox Server, all features of each connected player can be controlled from its web interface via Max2Play.
• Home automation - Thanks to the Squeezebox system's extensive support of CLI and HTTP commands, any home automation systems can be used to incorporate Max2Play in them.
