Re: [slim] Question for NAS owners
I see very little advantage to running SS or SC on your NAS and some advantages to running it on your PC. As previously stated, you can turn off your PC if it is running on your NAS. Frankly, I never turn off my PC so that isn't important to me. The advantage to running it on your PC is your PC's processing power has to be greater than your NAS' so any operation you perform, including refreshing your library, will take much less time on your PC. If you have a very large music collection, refreshing could be painfully slow on your NAS. -- dminches SB3 CI Audio VDA-2 Aragon Soundstage Aragon 8008X3 Vandersteen 3A Sigs dminches's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12606 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46310 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Sean, it is great that you frequent the forums. It shows your dedication to developing products that people enjoy.
