Code:

#!/bin/sh
# Sound Devices - mac addresses are fake and these play directly from the
server
/usr/local/bin/squeezelite -n 'Gym' -o plughw:CARD=CODEC,DEV=0 -a 80:::1: -m
ad:aa:67:fb:74:19 -C 15 &
/usr/local/bin/squeezelite -n 'office' -o plughw:CARD=Adapt,DEV=0 -a 80:::1:
-m 8c:fb:61:9d:06:40 -C 15 &
exec sh

I used the command -squeezelite -l- to get the list of hardware.

I don't know the difference between hw:card and plughw:card, but the
description made it sound to me as though the software will convert
formats before pushing it to the hardware device?
Everything appears to be working fine for me at the moment and planning
to add more dacs. Since I'm using picoreplayer to replace an old elan
home system where all the speaker wires terminate in one location,
having a multichannel amp and tiny dacs for each seemed the easiest and
cheapest solution.
I had originally had a raspberry pi for each group of channels as a
streamer with another raspberry pi as a controller in various rooms;
some mounted in walls and others freestanding all with raspverry pi
display. This was difficult to manage and Raspberry Pi's are an arm and
a leg at the moment. So learning about how to setup multiple
squeezelites on one server was awesome. Thanks to everyone in this
thread.
