I find this a very convenient and efficient setup for playing local files and would not want to change it. I control JRiver using my phone through an Android app. I play them on JRiver running on a Raspberry Pi which then gives a usb output to a DAC. My main source of music is FLAC files stored on a network drive. This worked out of the box, is easy to set up, has lots of helpful documentation if you need it, and even some of the older model equipment is working with it.I would like to hear thoughts and advice from members on the best way to incorporate streaming services (Apple Music, Spotify) in a headless set up

Overall am happy with Luna Display and glad I went this route rather than some virtual add on I'd have had to finesse a lot. Setting up the program it asks for access to a lot of the main computer and that always bugs me some, but just about everything does these days. There may be and I may have just not found it yet. It would be nice if there were an option to put it on standby so it didn't try to wake up every time the main screen opens. Luna Display expects to be used all the time and I only need it to use an alternate screen from the desktop while filming so I have to tell it to turn off a lot. Which is okay, I knew it was a long shot, not much runs on the second generation iPad these days it is pretty old but I was hoping to maybe use it as an alternate screen. It doesn't work on an iPad 2nd generation, which appears to be too old to use the software. I have it running on a 5th generation iPad and on an older Macbook Pro and it works well. Luna Display was easy to set up and it's pretty great.
