Stream audio to separate device

[bls]

Hello!

I got two raspberry pi's, one as a jellyfin server and the other as a hifiberry DAC audio player.

Is it even possible to stream the audio from a video to a separate device with speakers?
So play the video on the device and stream audio to the hifiberry pi with the DAC?

Been searching around without finding an answer.

thanks!

I think this would have to happen client-side. Jellyfin can only stream to one client at a time. So your client would have to support a connection to your DAC in order to make this happen.

Wait...what if you tried something like SyncPlay? I don't know if you could target the Pi as a client, though. You'd have to have a way to use something to stream to it as a client still (something to act on Jellyfin to join the SyncPlay group on behalf of the Pi and send the audio towards it at least).
