Donqwan, I don't have a lot of experience with NAS devices, but I did try one - and quickly returned it.
I strongly recommend a dedicated server, an old donkey of some kind, (why do people all over the world pick on the poor donkey?) and run SlimNAS (Slimserver on FreeNAS) on it - if you want a NAS. It will be much faster, and you will have complete control over its configuration. Either that, or run Slimserver on your laptop like I did for a year, with an attached hard drive. That actually worked quite well as long as the laptop was in the house. Since it often was not, I fashioned a dedicated server. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38314 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
