Help with setting up for Newbie

Posted by: tonym182 on 16 July 2012

Hi

 

I took the plunge at the week-end and purchased a Superuniti and a pair of S400's. I also purchased from Amazon a Synology DS212J, 2 WD Caviar Green 2tb (WD20EARX) drives (quiet) and a netgear GS116 16port Gigabit Hub. I have ripped all my CD's via dbPoweramp (FLAC format) to a WD external drive attached to my MacPro.

I want to set up the DS before the Naim stuff arrives and wondered if it is easy or complex to do or if anybody on the Naim community could help me out with pointers which would enable me to slot the Superuniti in when it arrived and start playing.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks to all.

 

Regards

Hi Tony

 

I have the same DS212j with an ND5/SX. To be honest i found the DS easy to set up. It has a setup wizard, so let it take the defaults and it will set it up for you. Just pick your IP Address and password and your done. Once its all formatted install the media server app, then just drag and drop your music into the shared music folder it creates.

 

Good luck
