Unfortunately, you will be a little frustrated when you try to connect to your NAS server. Dialog can not read from NAS servers and only input is optical, no USB.
When you run Spark on a Mac/PC and you mount the NAS on it Spark with Dialog can access and stream your music same as when the files are on the local storage. Of course it looses connection when the NAS drive is unmounted. What does not work (yet?) is UPNP access. It is a promised feature but not yet implemented.
Right. They don't even have UPNP or DLNA protocols implemented into the dialog, which is hard to believe. That tells me how far behind the software development is. Why? is a great question. It's hard to understand the French mentality and pride. Only solution for Devialet to catch up is to be purchased by a US household company which is master of writing hardware specific propriety software, or purchase a third party software company like Jriver, etc. There are so many great options out there.
