Devialet AIR and Lumin L1 NAS

[Stephen_V]

Hi Guys,

Based on what I am reading, it doesn't look optimistic that the Devialet will be able to stream directly from my NAS without something like the Auralic Aries or my computer with JRiver/some other player.  Anyone have much experience connecting their NAS to the Devialet through USB and streaming it through DevialetAir?

How to stream from a NAS
For now, there are several solutions that will allow you to play music from a NAS or an Audio Server:

• Using a computer as a player to access the music stored on your NAS
  

In this case you can make use our streaming application AIR. This is by far the best way to stream music to the Devialet in bit-perfect. This means that the core-audio of the computer is by-passed and that the data are sent as they are to the Devialet i.e. a 24/192 files is transmited as-is without any up-or-downsampling nor any processing from the computer.

• Connect your Devialet using a USB 2.0 output
  

Many NAS or Audio Server are equiped with a USB output. Just connect to the USB input on the Devialet and play your music just as with a UPnP protocol. This solution allows you to listen to what's on the NAS without a computer using any dedicated app on an iPad or Smartphone.

Hi Steven,
I use a QNAP HS251+ connected to my Devialet with an Audioquest Forest 1.5m cable. JRiver is installed on the NAS and is controlled with an iPad running JRiver remote. Sound quality is excellent and so far, the system has been 100% reliable.

Cheers,

Al.
