Well, there is a big difference in how you are utilizing these two systems. Sonos' server is running separately from your NAS, only using the NAS as the library storage, very little resources needed, similar too a computer accessing data on a USB drive. Whereas you are actually "running" SBS on your NAS, which is very resource intensive. Run SBS on a computer, pointing SBS to your NAS library, now you have a fair comparison of the two systems. I don't use Sonos but that is my understanding of how they work. Then when you start combining factors (server on low power NAS, ALAC, lossless transcoding, iTunes tagging & art) the issues multiply quickly. Couple other things to check: - are you certain no other program or service is running on the NAS? - is anything possibly using the common ports required for SBS server? i.e. any other media program using same ports? -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87448 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
