With such a sophisticated digital frontend, why rely on a slow QNAP? I have already experienced with 2 NAS's (QNAP and Buffallo) and they all have been terrible to install, terrible to follow for any customization and very slow for music scans and pretty much everything else. I got tired and bought a Mac Mini and installed it as a fully dedicated music server, and I wish I had done it before, I bought a very small good looking high resolution lcd monitor that is most of the time turned off and got the logitech wireless media mouse and a mac bluetooth keybord and any time I need to change settings, create playlists, revise labels, etc. I can do it without a problem from my listening chair and in a snap, unlike with the NAS's and besides a mac mini almost costs the same as a NAS.... -- GuyDebord Reference 3A Royal Master monitors biwired with van den Hul Inspiration cables, REL Strata 5 sub.
