Needing to upgrade my NAS...
emidalla replied to Chopsrr's topic in Disk Storage / Music Library Storage
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. -
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.

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.
