That’s all about HQ Player’s digital filters for upsampling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren69 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Are the NAS fans noisy? Was hoping to keep the NAS behind the hi fi shelving and not have 'stuff' sitting in other rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting it behind your gear may mean it is sucking in hot air, rather than room temperature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am thinking something like this with two 4TB running whatever RAID it is that duplicates one disc to the other- https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/DS718 Edited May 13, 2018 by Darren69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially same spec machine but more RAM and cheaper and from Qnap. Helps if you run apps on the NAS like UPNP or even Plex. Either Western Digital RED or Seagate's Iron Wolf NAS drives will do you. If you wanna go to their pro series, they have lower mean time failure. But you pay more. Mine, isn't pro but been running for over 4 years non-stop. http://www.qnapshop.com.au/internal-hdd/nas/ Edited May 13, 2018 by Sirmorebeer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest enemy of disk drives is heat. I have 2 Synology NAS, the first one 2 bay, now relegated to backup duties. Second one is 4 bay. Get as big a disk as you can afford, have not checked for a while but I think $/TB sweet spot is 6TB (?). Like Synology, they have served me well. But others here like Qnap.

Darren69 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 The Synology unit showed up today along with the Red pros, wow it is a nice piece of gear, it looks like it's really been made with love, not something to hide, just another boring bit of computer stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astormsau Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I have a QNAP TS-219pii I purchased in 2010 with 2x2TB drives (small by today’s standards it a lot then) and its been flawless all that time delivering video content to my network and functioning as a Time Machine for my Mac . Great little unit and it’s just recently began serving my audio to a roon rock! I believe both QNAP and Synology make good gear. Drew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren69 Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Do I need to install Raid 1 off the net or does it come with the machine and needs setting up? Can talk to it now through the local network. Edited May 26, 2018 by Darren69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just follow the install instructions, raid will be one of the setup options as you go through the setup wizard, raid is included in the diskstation software Edited May 26, 2018 by awayward 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe after we shut down the modem tonight and restart tomorrow, things might 'see' each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren69 Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) getting there! Did this and now the Naim see's the NAS- Found an old thread here (thank PETERHA): http://forums.naimaudio.com/to...29#35920103667435629 The solution – at least in my case – was exactely the same: I have made two changes in my NAS. - Changed the Workgroup name to Workgroup - enabled the local master browser Best, Lorenz bit it states it is 'read only' so canna be used as a backup but I will see how we fix that.

Google is your friend in situations like this, it might be permissions on the backup storage volume restricting access, but could be many things, the joys of modern bloody technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid One. Weekly backups. Damn, I might get a job with IT. Not. Have ripped 10 CD this arvo, all loads great, meta data, album covers, the works, I like the Naim app. When all done will play with the Naim app vs ROON and see how we go. Thanks maate. You're a bloody gem even if you do like Holdens. Edited May 26, 2018 by Darren69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
