  1. I have a DS414 NAS and am very happy with it. My only suggestion would be to buy the biggest HDD your NAS allows, in order to be ok for a while. Buying 3 TB drives while the unit can handle 4 TB is, imho, not very future proof.
  2. In terms of ease of use, Synology server is not different from, let's say, Plex. Plex, on the other hand, has an aspect that is imho nicer (providing infos on artist and so on). SQ wise, it depends on your needs. If you need to convert/upsample/downsample music on the fly you may prefer one server over another. If, like me, you simply need to stream from NAS to the renderer, the choice of the media server should not be an issue and it would only depend on personal taste.
  3. As you know, a TRUE audiophile has to test HUNDREDS of different setups
  4. You can also use third party software. minimserver and Plex, for instance, are two media servers that can be installed on almost all Synology models. OTOH, don't think you can install jPlay, PureMusic or Audirvana, at least not officially. Synology's media server, however, can be very interesting if you plan to stream your local content when you are far from home.
  5. A pity there is still no update towards gapless streaming of flac files ;(
  6. That's great news, thank you for pointing this out. I hadn't realized there was a new beta firmware
  7. I watched them live last week and going to watch them again in the Digital Concert Hall, as you say it was really fun
  8. I agree with what davide256 said, according to the bitrate shown by the NAS interface this should not be the case. What evidence do you have of trancoding always occurring? P.S. Hi all, first post here
