Looking for a self-hosted home audio system, something like Sonos where you can play music in different zones/rooms and control it from a phone or tablet. Not sure on speakers, maybe something running off of raspberry pi's or just standalone speakers if that would work. Anyone doing something like this?

Logitech media server, every day of the week. Despite its name, it is open source and in the hands of the community. Then, with cdrummond's Material Skin and LMS Android Wrapper, it's next level good. I can't ever imagine going back

Edit: if hosting the server on a RPI, check out piCorePlayer. It can host your server and also serve as a player simultaneously

What are you using for client devices?

I'm using a Raspberry pi, my desktop computer, my phone, some Logitech Squeezebox devices, and Google Home Minis all through my house

What is the name of the client software on the pi? How did you connect your pi to an amplifier?

For my pi, PC, and phone, I use Squeezelite. For the pi specifically, piCorePlayer is the OS that I use to run Squeezelite

For the pi, and DAC will do. I personally use a Hifiberry DAC which connects via the GPIO, but any USB DAC will do the job
