Asset upnp qnap8/4/2023 The NAS can become the access point for files that you choose to store on the NAS - I am not sure exactly what you mean be 'files that you want to use via your laptop'. You will be able to open an Excel file that is stored on a Synology NAS, (I've just done this) and I'm pretty sure the same answer will apply to a QNAP NAS. I can certainly answer one of your questions. Thank you SO much in advance of any replies. I wonder if anyone might tell me if an external cloud back-up can work with a NAS? My question is simple and naive."If I install a NAS (I guess of any sort), I'm assuming that becomes the access point for files I want to use via my laptop? So, if for example, I want to open an Excel file that is stored on the NAS, and I have Excel installed on my laptop, I can open a file that is stored on the NAS"?Ī follow up question.I use KnowHow Cloud to automatically back up at the moment. I'm aware that this will not integrate with the MuSo. Given the perceived expense and complexity to set a NAS up for the MuSo, my current inclination is to install what looks to be a much simpler solution - something like the WD M圜loud Home 4TB with RAID, which seems to integrate much more simply with the Ruark and acts as the server / back-up I'm looking for for the two PCs. Being able to access files when away from home would occasionally be useful. Taking lots of photo and music files away from my laptop hard drive feels like a good thing to do as well. Now, I'm again thinking about a NAS, but more for back-up purposes as well as being a server for two PCs in the house - my wife and I run a small business from home and file sharing would be sometimes useful. I've explored a NAS in the past when I only had the MuSo, but found the whole thing to be potentially very expensive for the limited amount of music I listen to from my personal collection and, I have to say, it looked pretty tricky to set up as well as being restrictive in terms of the NAS that was suggested I needed to serve the MuSo - either Synology or QNap. ![]() I have Asset UPnP installed on my laptop and use both the Ruark and MuSo to listen to playlists when we're entertaining. I also have a Ruark R2 which is in a different room and used as a "secondary" device for mealtime listening etc. I have a Naim MuSo which I use principally for radio and Spotify. ![]() This may be a naive question, so my apologies in advance. All suggested ripping formats (except WAV) are able to display cover art and metadata, if these information is available from online data base (CDDB, Gracenote,…), when ripping.Hi everyone. Please avoid lossy compressed file formats, like MP3 or AAC, if you are forced to use these, select highest bitrate (320 kbit/sec) to get playback quality near CD. With compression levels 1 to 3 you will get NO playback, because of excessively high data rates (please use WAV instead)! Please also make sure that album cover art graphic is smaller than 800kbyte, bigger files will not be displayed! ALAC does need Twonky or Asset UPnP as server for playback. ![]() PLEASE NOTE: FLAC offers 8 levels of lossless compression, levels 4 to 8 give best results. Lossless audio formats like FLAC & ALAC offer the same audio quality as WAV, but need only 60% of hard-disk space and show album art plus track/artist information. WAV is a 1:1 copy of CD‘s audio with best sound quality, but no tag information or album art will be displayed. Second best are uncompressed file formats created from CD source. HD music files (24 bit/88,2 - 192kHz) have audio quality like in the recording studio and are available from diverse online sources.
