Surely if the NAS is switched off, it shoudn't do anything to the music

AFAIK SlimServer will try to keep its database up to date with your

library (or should be). If you shut down your NAS, SlimServer won't find

The amplifier in your speakers is generating mechanical noise because
the transformer inside the amp is vibrating from the electricity and
