Dear All,
I am interested in a NAS system and DLNA streaming via MediaMonkey.
Following information:
I have a single PC (win 10), which I can only connect wirelessly with my Hifi Equipment.
On my PC i have MediaMonkey installed, using currently a Bluetooth aptx transmitter for the PC and for my HiFi amplifier a Blutooth aptx receiver in order to play music per MMW from the PC (a new HiFi amplifier - Cambridge CXA81 - is ordered, which has its own Bluetooth receiver)
There is already a thread opened by me "Configuration of SMB server", this one:
https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 20&t=95647
At the end of this conversation, I come now to the conclusion to buy a NAS server and use it with DLNA.
After reading a lot here about DLNA, there are various questions remaining:
1) Can is connect the NAS server with my PC or with my future amplifier per USB? (what would be the best?). I have read often to connect the server with the wireless router, which is in my situation not fine and I would like to avoid.
2) If I have all my files, which are a lot ( > 250.000 mp3 & FLAC), on the NAS server, which is connected with PC or HiFi amplifier, can I still use MMW with the PC ( I do not want to use different apps)
3) Is MMW able to index this huge coollection of music files with a NAS server configuration.
4) Are there other points to be considered as a beginner.
Hope, explanations are clear enough to give some information concerning the questions above.
My target is: best audio quality possible.
Thanks a lot for your input in advance and best regards
