edit: oops, i'm confusing the D1 with the Aurenders that have local storage...the D1 doesn't.
Correct! The d1 server pulls music data from your NAS. In exactly the same way as the Aries.
However... it is also a reclocker meaning you can connect any digital input: S/PDIF, AES/EBU, USB and optical. So for example a CD transport.
It can also convert DSD files to 176.4KHz/24 pcm (this can can be activated or disactivated via the remote control).
You can also insert a USB stick with music files on it and these albums will then appear in the MPaD iPad app, quite handy actually.
