Guest AndrewC Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Thanks I am on Synology...Dont seem to have Jriver I was curious about this, so I did some digging for you… If you want to stick with your Synology, depending on your NAS model, you have one or both of the following options; - Run the Virtual Machine Manager package under your Synology NAS, and install and run MC for Linux on the VM Or (if your Synology NAS doesn’t have enough VM grunt)… - Run the Docker package, and install the containerised version of MC I’ve not tried the above myself, I’m not into JRMC, and I don’t use my NAS for Audio streaming, but seems others have and it works well enough ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 If you get a NAS to host your player, you are just dancing around. End of the day, you will keep yourself a full blown server ....slowly, slowly, it will evolve into that. Power is everything. (Audio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 OK, the older JRiver Media Center has a habit to convert your files to MP3 for playback in the DNLA server. You need to set that option to "Original". (Audio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlurRhino Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I just got a Lumin T2, about 30 hours on it now and I am slightly disappointed by the performance.. Or maybe I have set my expectations too high from the online reviews.. find that in my setup even though it has resolution, I losing a fair bit of engagement from music playback. The bass while excellent with the amazing layering, is also getting too much focus. Just wondering does Lumin require a lot of run in to sound optimal? I currently connecting to my integrated tube amp using the balanced analogue outputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie Howser Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 The D2 sounded quite engaging out of the box. But that uses Wolfson not the SABRE32 in the higher end models. Sounded way better with balanced outputs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wklie Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Please burn it in 7x24 for two weeks or more, by enabling repeat mode. You may also use a mix of different sample rates of PCM / DSD in the playlist. You may turn off the amp if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much of your carbon footprint you managed to reduced, the price of electricity WILL go up once the carbon tax kick in. You are not directly being taxed. The electricity supplier will have to pay this tax and it will be pass down to customers. (Audio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
