Couple things:
1. The Multiroom feature is designed to route audio only from MPD and the Renderers (inputs) to the Sender (output). The Hifiberry device routes audio from its input to its output internally completely bypassing MPD or the Renderers. This means it's not possible to use the Multiroom feature to distribute audio from a CD player connected to the Hifiberry device.
2. A Multiroom sender cannot also be a Receiver. It must be a dedicated Raspberry P.i Typically its connected to the Router via Ethernet. It contains the music collection on local storage and also functions as a NAS via SMB or NFS file sharing.
3. The Multiroom feature does not perform clock correction between Sender and Receivers and thus requires a Network with fast, consistent throughput where the ping times from the Sender to each Receiver are within ~1ms of each other. This will ensure the audio is to-the-ear in sync.
