@grannyring : I hear you. I am perhaps biased myself as I already have two NAS devices, with redundant storages, which honestly don’t currently use for streaming audio, just for back up. I use them for file storage in my house, including family photos, video files, documents and so on. So general use, not exclusively audio.
Love to see links for a 1-2Tb NAS in the $200 range. Is this possible for a good one?
Maybe those simple WD My Book or My Cloud NASs? They carry them at Best Buy (I think), or they used to.
Actually I looked them up: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-my-cloud-home-4tb-personal-cloud-white/5990204.p?skuId=5990204
But granted, I don’t know if they work with Innuos. So do your own due diligence.
I did contact Innuos and shared my disappointment in a constructive manner.
Good! You are right, such added functionality should have been easy to incorporate
