I now have version 7.2.1 installed which works fine. CPU load is between 6 and 9% during playback (this was the same with 7.3.3). Nearing the end of a song CPU load goes up gradually. The highest peaks I noticed was 74% - it tends to differ from song to song. I dont know at what value it peaked with 7.3.3. Memory usage with 7.2.1 is 5.5%; with 7.3.3 memory consumption was around 9%. These figures should be fine for the NV+ (even those of 7.3.3). My NAS is still very responsive even with SC peaking at higher levels during buffer loads at the beginning of each song. I actually cant tell any difference in performance during the heavier SC loads. I must say that Im very happy with the NV+ considering it uses a SPARC processor. As for the streaming format: I didnt change anything on the configuration so I guess Im streaming FLAC then. In the Advanced tab, on the File type page, WAV is set to system default. -- Pascal Hibon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pascal Hibon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7969 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65719
