DS Audio: Auto Android/Apple Play Stream from NAS

I recently put together a Synology 1522+ NAS for local streaming via Roon. It works great, but Synology also has a free app called DS Audio for streaming to devices in MP3, or WAV. I can even stream my DSD via Auto Android and it sounds really good. I’m using the same files that I use for Roon streaming and the Auto Android interface is a typical streaming service UI. You can also stream "radio stations" via the app and I can stream to my media room. Maybe this is old news, but was new to me.

It’s a handy thing to do. I have a slightly different setup to do something similar.

I run a DLNA server (MinimServer) and BubbleUPnP Server on my DS1522+. The latter makes the DLNA server available over the Web to certain DLNA control points (in my case, BubbleUPnP).

With that setup, I can access my music library from anywhere that has Internet access. I can play the tracks on my phone or redirect them to any DLNA client (renderer). I’ve even played my own tracks on high-end equipment at audio dealerships (Naim Uniti) and friends’ houses (dCs Rossini, among others).

@vonhelmholtz - The DS1522+ replaced a DS414 in my setup. The earlier one is still working but after 8 years, the new one is much, much faster. As you say, the Synology stuff works smoothly and one doesn’t have to have a ton of tech expertise to run it.
