Synology NAS + Logitech SBT + Asus dac

rklpoon

Will get a 2nd hand one bay Synology NAS next week. Planned connection will be: nas and sbt (lan cable) ---> switch,  sbt (usb cable) --->DDC(coaxial cable)--->asus dac.

Synology has audio station and logitech media server can also be installed in the nas. Will compare which is better soundwise.

Is it better to run/use logitech media server(lms) in the nas via android apps (logitech squeezebox controller?) to select which lms (in nas or sbt?) to run/connect (for better cpu,ram, etc.)?  Both the nas and sbt will be recoginsed in the android apps?  Nil experience in nas and appreciate any comment, thx.

SSD is good but expensive to me. Use a 3.5" hdd to try first...

Ching, 無論用 NAS 直出DAC，或做Squeeze box server ,一定要用SSD。因為個OS是放在HDD，有好大分別。

Oic, thx. How about the wav files? If also in the ssd, could cost me a leg.

I also want to buy a NAS, ssd 太貴，256 ssd 已經買唔起，128 就裝得好少歌。
可唔可以裝落sd card, 用HDD 放歌？
是否2.5 好過3.5?
HDD 轉速有無關係？慢啲會唔會少啲noise?

How about a 2.5" nornal disk, better than a 3.5"?

買個 4bay nas... ssd 裝個 os... 後加三隻 3TB 行 RAID5 儲歌... 又快又儲得多...

如果用 NOTEBOOK / NUC 玩都係裝 128GB SSD 算, 要聽歌時拉幾 GB 去電腦內先聽都唔錯丫~

PS: synology ds audio 仲未 support dsd files... 小弟聽 dsd 時都係要拉歌去 notebook 行 teac player...

NAS 用32G SSD就可以，用streaming mode 播network 内DLNA storage 啲歌就可以，最好是router support usb storage, 放隻2T external HDD 便可解决

但如果我遲啲會用電腦播歌,NAS只係放song file, SSD放OS+HDD放歌呢個配搭有無用?
