Devialet - direct NAS connection - MIKE - 26-Jul-2016 Dear All, Anyone successfuly connected NAS directly to Devialet? (https://help.devialet.com/hc/en-us/articles/203402401-How-to-Stream-from-a-NAS) I have Synology DS115 NAS, which is ready for direct streaming to DA converter via USB A-B (2.0, 3.0) link. Syn. has its own audio control app - Audio Station - that can send bit-perfect signal stright to your audio device. I have tried to do that, unfortunately in vain. I even do not know whether the signal does not go out of NAS (unlikely to happen) or Dev. does not accept/detect it. What could be the reason? Does Synology need a dedicated USB driver, or something like that? I would appreciate your comments and suggestions, Mike RE: Devialet - direct NAS connection - octaviars - 26-Jul-2016 I have tried my Synology NAS to Devialet USB and that worked without any problems so I have no answer to what might be wrong with your system.

Thanks for the comment - not quite revealing but valuable for me (it shows it works). Can you provide some more info regarding the connection: 1. What type of Syn NAS do you have? 2. Did you change the settings of AudioStattion?, 3. How did you control the playback - PC, Mac, Iphone - remote app?, 4. Did you change the settings of Dev somehow? 5. How do you assess this connection (quality of sound vs. Air or PC USB)? Thanks, Mike RE: Devialet - direct NAS connection - octaviars - 26-Jul-2016 (26-Jul-2016, 15:20)MIKE Wrote:(26-Jul-2016, 14:44)octaviars Wrote: I have tried my Synology NAS to Devialet USB and that worked without any problems so I have no answer to what might be wrong with your system. 1. DS 216 2. As I can recall I did not change anything. 3. I used the DS audio app on my Android phone 4. No changes to the USB in the Dev. 5. So long ago I tried it so I cant really remember the sound compared to other connections and it was just a test.

Skickat från min E6653 via Tapatalk RE: Devialet - direct NAS connection - Rufus McDufus - 26-Jul-2016 I've never actually tried direct from a NAS but if it's running a fairly typical Linux variant I'm wondering whether it outputs sound on all USB outputs or whether it's limited to a particular one by default? Might be worth trying different USB connectors on the NAS to see if you get anything from a particular one. The NAS is fairly likely to be using ALSA drivers (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture). The Devialet is USB 2.0 I believe but the NAS should negotiate properly. If there's an option to hard-code the NAS output to USB 2.0 that might be worth a try.

Thank you, Octaviars, for your comments and commitment. I look forward to hearing from you.

The NAS is fairly likely to be using ALSA drivers (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture). Hi Rufus, Thanks for the response. There are 2 USB outputs in Syn ds115 (1X2.0, 1X3.0) and I've already tried both. I will try to upload a USB driver - hopefully it will help. Reg, Mike RE: Devialet - direct NAS connection - Silvertouran - 26-Jul-2016 I have a DS215j and as far as i know the USB connections on the rear are solely for adding extra expansion HDDs for more storage. RE: Devialet - direct NAS connection - Rufus McDufus - 26-Jul-2016 Here's another possibility - the user Audio Station is running under may not have sufficient permissions to access the audio device driver. https://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?t=91151 |
