Your missing the full file name you need to include the extension. Just type the tar -zxvf and using tab on keyboard you can autopopulate or copy the whole name including extension

Learning buy doing 
The problem: I created a dir called “Asset-Install” - bad idea. Linux seems not to like that. After changing it to just “asset”
Now I need to find my music files (Media Folder):
Here we go:

All looking good now?
I haven’t used Asset for a long time, it was in early beta the last time I used it. I might need to check it out as a feed to Symfonium.
More interesting options

No but you got there and that’s the main thing.

But we each have to find this out for ourselves by trying it out 
I have now added to my todo list to install Asset UPNP on my DietPi server and test JPlay to HQPlayer as well

Ahh-no. We don’t. I have no interest in trying different audio player systems just because they exist. I am happy with Roon and I have a backup (two in fact - I run Plex for video which can be configured for uPnP if needed, and my main streamer system is perfectly happy streaming directly from a network share) just in case Roon decides not to play ball. Having said that, for me, Roon has been utterly reliable and, since I installed it, the only times that it has been unavailable have been due to:
-
A series of network upgrades that saw my PowerLine system replaced with proper wired ethernet each of which (briefly - no more than 30 minute each time) took down my network.
-
The move of my NUC running Roon Server to a new (fanless) case. This took Roon down for about an hour (my choice - I have my local library backed up to a network share so I could have quickly commisioned a server on another computer whilst I did this but I chose not to because the anticipated down time was short enough to make it unwarranted).
I did have LMS installed on my DietPi Roon Server at one point - but I recently removed it because I had never had occaision to use it (other than curiosity on first install). I’m not really interested in repeating that with other systems.

I fully understand your thinking, but I am using LMS to listen now and I really like it.
I keep my Tidal and Qobuz library there and make user of Virtual Libraries etc and now I have 4 Ropiee endpoints and DAC’s connected I can happily switch between them.
Also being mostly retired gives me the time to try new things and decide whether they are worth keeping or not. When I was full employed and engaged I never found the time, but now it is project to project. I think I have gotten LMS where I want it, and I like the idea of using AssetUPNP with Symfonium to try some ideas
(I went 4 years without changing anything and just using Roon and it was great but it was becoming boring, which now I think about it should be the goal, just settle back and enjoy the music)

Variety is the spice of life. We all try different ones to see how the competition is and if we feel Roon isn’t giving us what we want anymore we have alternatives. I have never been sold to one platform for anything and often change things up if one gets complacent and no longer aligns with me.

Hi Michael, is this a universal offer, I have tried and failed a couple of times, but I do want to try and get it up and running this year.
Yes. PCM, even with a convolution filter, really does not stress Roon on a half-decent machine - including most recent NUCs.
However, I have to wonder why you are upsampling from 352.8kHz (8 x 44.1kHz) to 384kHz (8 x 48kHz). This seems, to me, to be a needless conversion.

Try setting:
This will stop the upsampling from 352.8kHz to 384kHz whilst still allowing 48/96/192kHz files to be upsampled to 384kHz. 44.1/88.2/176.4kHz files will be upsampled to 352.8kHz.
Edit: One thing I didn’t take into account was the sample rates available in your convolution filter. If your convolution filter does not have the 44.1 kHz (and power of two multiples) sample rates, then the filter itself will be sample converted down to 352.8kHz (in this case) which have similar, very minor, effects on audio quality but, more significantly, may result in higher processor use than is necessary.
