Networking/Remote Access Gurus - Access Audirvana Outside Home Network?

I’m using Tailscale (a Wireguard-based VPN-type networking protocol - see About WireGuard · Tailscale Docs) to remotely access my home network securely via ssh.

I’d love to use it to allow me to listen to Audirvana-processed music files remotely (away from my home network). Any networking/remote access gurus here who might have some ideas how to do this? I do have a secure Airsonic server set up that allows remote access, and that’s great, but it doesn’t provide for any processing of the music files by Audirvana.

Thanks!

Hi @Jud ,

What’s the situation on the remote location? Does it have a router that builds the VPN tunnel?

My wild guess is that you might need an Audio-over-IP connection for this. Audirvana output at home connected via AoIP to a DAC on the remote location.

I’m waiting for a higher speed travel router to become available, and will see if there’s a microcomputer that I can configure as an endpoint to attach to it. Then the idea would be to run Tailscale on the microcomputer so the home computer running Audirvāna can see it.

The goal is to upsample files to DSD with Audirvāna, then send the result to the remote location.

Are you familiair with the Dante AoIP products?

Of course there is a downside; Dante does not support wireless connections and they do not support upsampled DSD.

Yes. I can access my home connection right now with airsonic if I don’t want to upsample, so Dante doesn’t actually give me much more. I’d like to be able to take advantage of Audirvāna’s upsampling with equipment that is easy to bring in a backpack when traveling.
