USB on Dialog, what is it for?
#1
my system is silver duo+dialog.

I intended to stream music from my NAS, now it seems not possible, phantom /dialog does not support UPNP.

then I was wondering what's the function for USB on dialog? what can it do?

in devialet official white paper, it says " Asynchronous audio output for Expert product line "
then i'm totally lost. 
does it mean dialog can connect with 200/250, etc?

The USB port on Dialog is not active in the current release. It is said to be functional in the future without further details afaik

You have several options to get your NAS library to your dialog using a network streaming player like Bluesound node 2, or one of the OPPO bdp's... Or others similar. Just use the players optical out to the Dialog or Phantom. The Blusound etc will identify your NAS network shares and stream the music to your Dialog. If you have Roon on your laptop/desktop it will aggregate all your computer and NAS music and add all the metadata, and you can AirPlay or Ethernet it to an Apple TV V2 optical out to the Dialog or Phantoms.

If you're on a Windows platform you can simply add the path to your NAS in Spark.

BUT, this path will be wrong defined in the Registration Database (I reported this error to Devialet and they say that it will be fixed in one of the coming Spark updates).

But ofcourse you can change this definition with the Regedit program and Now you can select your artist or albums directly in Spark.

It is a very rudimentary selection option, but it works. So you don't have to wait for the complete DLNA solution which Devialet promised us a long time ago.

See the 3 pictures.
