WHY do you guys think a dedicated server makes a difference, IF you are using a separate streamer/player that is low noise, and only reads the data off your server (like a NAS)?
I am in the dilemma whether to get an Innuos with its own server, OR host all my music on my NAS server, and send it via Ethernet to a streamer like Aurender or Auralic?! I just do NOT understand, WHY, or HOW a file off NAS over ethernet can sound different, than Tidal stream going to the SAME streamer?!
Paul McGowan thinks NAS is better, as it's isolated away from the player/streamer.
