Foobar2000 currently only runs on Windows PCs, not Macs. To process audio does not require a super powerful PC, so I run Foobar2000 on either a small laptop or a small form factor PC, similar in size to a Mac mini. If you have Bluetooth on your PC, you can also stream audio from Foobar2000 to various Bluetooth headphones or portable speakers.
But because the PC is Internet connected, Foobar2000 can also play other audio sources such as Internet radio and streaming podcasts. Also many of these PCs are now under $200, some even under $100.ġ) Small Windows PC running Foobar2000and also storing my music library. Some full Windows PCs are now palm sized so one can now build a relatively compact Foobar2000 music server that will fit almost anywhere - gone are the days of large, clunky desktop tower PCs. I use my remote control app Foobar2000 Copilot running on a Windows Phone to control playback.īecause I dedicate the PC for use as a Foobar2000 server and most of the time interact with that server via my remote control Foobar2000 Copilot app, I could run the PC without a screen or a very small one. Instead of a tube amp, you can use any other type of amp - for example, your home theater sound system. My systems may look different (see Systems Gallery), but they all share a common architecture, which is composed of :ġ) a small footprint Windows PC running Foobar2000 as a music server, and with that PC feeding audio via 2) an external audio DAC into 3) a tube amp for amplification and 4) then out to speakers. Hybrid Architecture - digital source/ analog amp
