  1. A 90° uspcb is what I've been looking for to fit microRendu directly and vertically​ behind my amp/dac. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  2. Why would I need a USB cleaning/relocking device between microRendu and dac when microRendu is powered by LPS-1? Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  3. Cast option in Bubbleupnp captures Spotify and streams it to microRendu. But you will need a rooted Android phone with Exposed installed. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  4. When comparing devices on a few occasions microRendu stopped working. In that case I always have to restart microRendu AND my amp with integrated dac. I think that's because of the dac. Could be my dac is confused at that point. MicroRendu only starts a track when it sees my dac/amp. Don't think microRendu and Minimstreamer see each other. Both need to be seen by the network. It's your controlpoint that sends the music from one to the other. When Bubbleupnp sees Minimstreamer and microRendu I can always start a track unless microRendu is not connected properly to the dac/amp. Maybe this helps. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  5. With Bubbleupnp on Android you can stream from various cloud storage like Dropbox and Google. But you will need to buy enough space for your music collection. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  6. I recognize this issue. It happens not often but sometimes in longer tracks with Qobuz. It's not often enough to give Firedogs suggestion a try. MicroRendu and NAS both connected to my modem/router. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  7. With Minimserver you can use EQ with fmpeg transcoding. But it's not easy to apply. If interested see Minimserver forum. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  8. As I understand your Qnap is doing Roon and music streaming. That might be quite a heavy load. When I reduced the load on my NAS by upgrading from ds112 to ds116 the sound got much cleaner. My microRendu sounded much better than my former Pioneer streamer. Without lps upgrade microRendu sounded as good as Auralic Aries Mini+SBooster. MicroRendu + LPS-1 really sounds great. I can't say how Qnap compares to any of these streamers. However I would advise first to enjoy the gain in SQ you get with the Peachtree. When the effect wears off you can upgrade again. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  9. You should keep the functions server, control point and renderer apart. A pc can be all three. For example using iTunes and connecting pc usb to dac. MicroRendu reliefs the pc from the rendering task. As dedicated renderer microRendu is very successful. It sounds much better than most pc's and most other renderers. Like me using a dedicated renderer you can leave the pc out of the chain and use a NAS (as server) instead. In any of the above options you can add usb isolation in the chain. Unless you already own a very optimized audio pc I would put my money on microRendu. In fact I did and I'm very happy with the result. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  10. Off course you said so loud and clear. Thanks! Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  11. Thanks for setting me at ease with not trying HQplayer. I stick to Minimstreamer on my new Synology ds116 and not using a pc in my setup. ps. Upgrading from ds112 to ds116 proved a big step up in SQ. The ds112 must have been to busy with transcoding. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.

  13. Bubbleupnp can act as server to send music from phone to microRendu. But that's not the way I'm using Bubbleupnp. I use Bubbleupnp solely as control point to direct music from NAS to microRendu and from Tidal and Qobuz to microRendu. While playing an album you can turn off the phone (to prove my point). Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  14. Bubbleupnp on Android phone will handle your Tidal account. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
  15. I've installed Bubbleupnp server on my Synology NAS (next to Minimstreamer). Not on microRendu. In my system this way interaction with Bubbleupnp on my phone is quicker. Synology NAS, LPS-1, microRendu, Job INTegrated, Penaudio Cenya.
