Working here perfectly using I phone 5 or Gen 2 or newer I pads
We use a QNAP TS453 PRO and will be experimenting with others
Another option might be the sonicTransporter which is what I use with my totaldac d1 streamer. I'm sure it would work well with the dCS.
It comes with Roon Server preinstalled and you can spec it with SSD (up to 2TB). Very small, light weight and runs cool without a fan.
I paid $799 + shipping for mine and obviously some import duty since it shipped from the US.
For bigger collections they recommend the sonicTransporter I5 which you can spec up to 4TB.
