A bit off topic, but if you just want to get a fast and lossless music playback for multiple desktop & mobile clients on your home network that has a minimal toll on bandwidth usage then look into MPD Satellite Setup
https://www.musicpd.org/doc/html/user.html#satellite-setup
Playing back a 24b/96kHz flac uses approximately 400kB/s and for a regular 16b/44kHz its ~200kB/s. In such setup the main instance of MPD acts as a query and file server. Your MPD clients need to be configured as proxies. On Android you need the official MPD app that works as said proxy

And then chose a front end client e.g. M.A.L.P.

Or MPDroid

Happy listening!
