NAS drives direct into Dialog?

[streamy]

Apologies for the (probably dumb) question, I am new to digital music and streaming in particular.  I wondered is it possible to connect a NAS drive directly to a Phantom or Dialog?

If not what is the simplest way to accomplish this, as I am thinking about moving my music onto a NAS drive and obviously want to be able to access it on my Phantom without too much complication.

thanks!

Not possible for now as you need Spark to access the NAS. Spark needs to run on a Mac or PC. In Spark you can connect to the NAS, e.g. through SNB or another file protocol. You can add the path to your NAS in Spark and like this access your music files in Spark. However Spark needs to be running. And your PC/Mac needs to be well attached to the Network and NAS that the streaming works on the longer path (PC-NAS-PC-Dialog-Phantom)  Maybe Devialet will create one day Spark for a NAS or for linux that can be ported to a NAS like QNAP or Synology. Or they will enable that the Dialog USB can read a USB drive with music files on it. This would be the fastest and easiest.
