The control app thread

Hi folks, I have just installed minimserver on two servers (Synology and Windows) to try it out. I'm a bit lost as to next steps as streaming is new to me (well other than consumer stiff like Spotify on phones). I have a reasonable hifi setup (Rotel amp and Elac Debut speakers), but the only streaming device currently plugged in there is an old Chromecast audio. I am willing to consider other streaming devices, but I don't have a huge budget so have been looking at things like the Yamaha Mediacast. I want to stream my flac collection to the system. I've got a bunch of other devices (iOS, Windows, Apple TV etc) and my home network is great - I'm hoping to go all wired for this, not wireless. I'm an IT professional so the network/computing side is fine, but pretty much no clue on high quality streaming. Thanks for any advice!
