Picked out a synology 713+
Any suggestions as to hard drives to use with it? Western digital red, seagate,? Hdd, ssd?
Get the REDs. They are designed for 24/7 operation in NAS.

Hi Audiophilelp,
I use the Synology app DS Audio with my C1. It's not fancy, but it does work. I've been able to use Synology's UPnP server and DS Audio to stream hi res files even, but not DSD. I need the Minimserver for that.
I've tried other apps that work as well: BubbleUPnP on Andriod, PS Audio's eLyric (pricey for little functionality though), and I hear PlugPlayer works ok, too.
Good luck!
Hi all!
Is there any good control apps for C1 with minimserver to select songs and playlist from the music library? I found many uPnP players cannot recognize the C1 renderer. I look for something like ipeng for squeezebox touch. ThankS!
Thf, is that true even with the Minimserver that comes bundled with DSM 5.0? Was thinking of pulling the trigger on the 1813+ as my much smaller and older Synology NAS can't even be upgraded to DSM 5.0.
Which QNAP do you have?
Thx
I use 2 NASes, Synology 1813+ and a Qnap. Minimserver only works well with Qnap and not Synology. To carry out DSD streaming, use Qnap with Minimserver. As for Upnp, I use Plugplayer and so far, so good.
