QNAP TS-251+ with 1x8GB Samsung RAM module
2x 1TB sandisk Ultra II SSDs
RoonServer is available from the QNAP ap store.
The NAS and 220 Pro are both hardwired via CAT 7 Ethernet cables to a TP-Link VR900 router.
Everything was virtually plug and play once assembled.
In the QNAP OS I have fixed the IP address for the server then mapped the drive on my laptop.
When I want to add new music I copy it to the NAS via WiFi as it’s all gigabit or A/C rated.
Roon then automatically catalogues and displays new music, laptop can be put away again.
Huummmmm... that´s probably my solution, CK.
If you don´t mind, i´ve just more a couple of questions:
Have you the NAS in the system same room? What about the fan noise and if not, can i connect to another room using my houde network (not all CAT 7, for sure...) without SQ loss. Finally, that NAS model is pretty current in your opinion, and the one to buy considering the target.
Thanks a lot.
