I’m waiting for my new D200 in a couple of days, I’d like to ask you, in term of sound quality, which is the best configuration for streaming wifi files (sd and hd) from a qnap NAS to the Devialet.
- roon on the nas using the d200 as endpoint
- asset/minimserver/ jriver/..... on the nas using upnp input of the d200
I’ve also an iMac but I prefer a solution (if possible) without switch on the mac
Thank you, Alberto
Hi, and welcome to DC!
I have a Mac running Roon and a QNAP NAS with all of my music files on. I have everything hooked up, via a switch, by Ethernet to the Devialet . Sound quality is fantastic and operationally it is very stable with no dropouts at all, and you won’t need to bother with asset/minimserver/JRiver. Just Roon Air. You would need to switch the Mac on though.
If your NAS is powerful enough to run Roon, then this is probably your best bet. Hook everything up using Ethernet, no need to run the Mac, and use something like an iPad as remote control. I used to use JRiver myself, but once you’ve used Roon, there is no substitute IMHO.
