Best nas for streaming with naim

Hey Stanley.

1. I don't have experience of the Qnap but...

2. I use a ReadyNAS Duo with 2 x 1.5Tb seagate drives. After some setup issues (firewall conflict) everything now fine. Also...

3. Have you seen the list of Naim-tested nas drives on the forum at:

Good luck!

I think what ever you choose wait for a minute, hard drive prices have gone chicken oriental.

I use a ReadyNas NV+. I have installed twonky on it and it serves up flac files to my unitiqute just fine.

Vortexbox - nobody does it better. Works perfectly with my UQ - files in FLAC. 

You just buy the bits you want: ripper, SSD, HDD, memory, processor, casework (aluminium or something else), sound card, RAID, coffee maker (oh sorry not available until next version) or you can build your own. I'm sure there other NAS boxes that do a fine job, but I wouldn't change from a Vortexbox for all the holes in Blackburn.

Not a single bit of Microsoft code anywhere on it so it is reliable too.   

Just bought a qnap ts 119 ii over the 119+ ( more ram) and a seagate hdd before the price hike due to the flooding in Thailand.

Ran the Naim nas test tool both cd and hi-def, result both a pass so will work well with a Naim client when I get one.

I bought a TS-119P II 2TB for £270 about three weeks ago and it's working well with my NDX. The NAS with 2TB drive package is about £30-35 more expensive now due to the hard drive shortages and I could have got it cheaper still if I had bought a few weeks earlier. My NAS came with a Hitachi 24x7 rated 7200 RPM drive and it's pretty quick. While you are stuck with Twonky server the power consumption from the Ts-119P II is lower than a lot of Windows NAS boxes.

I switched to a Synology DS411+II after having bought and used for a few months a Qnap TS419P+.

I can now transcode to wav on the fly, but both are however very good and reliable.

For Mike & Roo, have you updated the Twonky on your Qnap? It has v5 as fitted, but is easy to update to v6.

As typed by 'intothevoid'.

1. log in to the web admin console on your QNAP.

2. Click "UPnP Media Server" in the Applications menu.

3. Clear the checkbox labelled "Enable UPnP Media Server" and click "Apply".

4. Click QPKG Plugins in the Applications menu.

5. Click the "Get QPKG" button on the far RH, which opens a new window (it can be a bit slow to open).

6. Click on "TwonkyMedia 6" and select the appropriate download for your version of NAS.

7. Save the file to your local hard disk (and remember where you put it!!)

8. Close the popup window and return to the QPKG screen.

9. Open an Explorer window and navigate to where you saved the download file. It is a zip file so you will need to unpack it first. You should then have a qpkg file.

10. Click the "Installation" tab and press the "Choose file" button.

11. Select the qpkg file and press OK.

12. Click "Install".

Seems to update faster, and be more reliable.
