| Best solution to send digital files to my DAC +1 on the Innuos Zen MK3.For about 15 years, I used a Netgear ReadyNAS and Logitech Media Server for playing music files and streaming. That solution worked well for me. A couple of years ago, I migrated to a Synology NAS and stayed with LMS. T... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @itsjustme. Regarding jitter, I found this article on Audio Myths on the PS Audio site quite interesting: https://www.psaudio.com/article/audio-myths/ Digital audio has a unique type of timing deviation called jitter, but with all modern sound c... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? “Best” depends on your equipment, wants, and needs.For my setup, LMS was best for my whole house stereo needs because I had a mix of Squeezebox and AirPlay end points. I switched to Roon because of its DSP and music management capabilities, and I... | |

| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @kumakahn. But, do I have to have the Cambridge or some other device to just play the digital music from the NAS to start? Once you store files on your NAS, you can play them using JRiver, iTunes, Logitech Media Server, and if your NAS is powe... | |

| Streamer/DAC combo or stand alone DAC with Node2? @mgrif104 Node 2 going into an NAD Masters M12 Pre/DAC Just curious. Why did you buy a Node 2 as opposed to using a BluOS MDC with the M12? | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? As I noted in an earlier post: I was under the impression that jitter was handled by “modern” DACs or by using an external master clock.I'm really trying to understand "jitter" and it's impact on streamed music. I use the following components fo... | |
| Linear Power Supplies with multiple power modules I use a HD Plex 200 watt LPS to power a sonicTransporter, Mytek Liberty DAC, and Ethernet switch - with one plug to spare.It is built like a tank, and works very well. | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @ kumakahn. Again, thank you. Many ways to get there. I didn’t know about the Zen Mini. I like the specs for it. It seems to match the RC-1590 better than the Vault II. The Zen Mini can handle DSD, as does the RC-1590. Have you made a bu... | |

| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? Steve,It’s ALL ABOUT JITTER, periodI was under the impression that jitter was handled by “modern” DACs or by using an external master clock. Having said that, I have zero experience with external clocks.I have a Mytek Liberty DAC. It’s specs hav... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? Steve,The OP appears to be relatively new to this "hobby," at least from a music streaming perspective if nothing else. He, like most people I believe, probably wants to get it as close to "right" the first time; sit back and enjoy the music; and... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @OP. Try to find a local dealer and audition the ZENmini in your system if possible. | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @kumankahn. But, honestly, I just want to listen to music that sounds great and is easily located and selected. Looks like you have to main goals for your music: (1) sounds great and (2) is easily located and selected.(1) Seems like a hardwar... |
