In fact it didn’t even index the album or recognise the tracks. I was surprised that Plex couldn’t play DSF/DSD. The other servers tested didn’t recognise the track or couldn’t play it.
To score a point here the track must be played in it’s native format, with no transcoding/encoding.ĪssetUPnP, Emby, LMS, MiniDLNA/ReadyNAS, MinimServer (all variants) and Twonky passed the test, each scoring one point. This particular track was chosen for its high definition format DSF/DSD, encoded at 24bit 96khz. I tried a variety of tracks and file formats, but the real differentiator was successfully playing Deep Purple’s Time for Bedlam track from the Infinite album. The criteria here was to listen to my music in its native format and original quality, from the capable renderers around my home. I’m not going to score them any different, they all run on the Synology NAS, so they all score 1 point.

I want the server software to be low cost, ideally free.I want to see album/artist/genre art for my library within the controller.I want to be able to browse and search my library using the controller.I want to listen to my music in its native format and original quality, from the renderers mentioned above.I want to run the music server on my NAS, a Synology DS3615xs.There is no weighting to these requirements, they each get one point for every requirement satisfied: So without further a do, here are my requirements.

I’m using Hi-Fi Cast as the controller (which i highly recommend), running on a wireless android tablet.

For testing, the renderers i will be using are a Yamaha MusicCast stereo, a Sony TV and a Windows PC. This guide will only address the server component. UPnP/DLNA has three components, the server, the renderer and the controller. Some of the music servers tested also serve video and photos and fall into the media server category, which is great but I’m only testing their merits on serving audio.įirst some terminology to get your head around. I am confused as to why Asset finds the albums/tracks in one folder but not the other when all the permissions on both folders are are identical.This review has been written by a tech enthusiast, not an audiophile, with my own personal requirements in mind, but since i went to great lengths testing every possible UPnP/DLNA Music Server i could find, i thought you might also benefit from my conclusions. Whilst I can now stream music again to my ND5XS 2. I then selected rescan folders detecting changes and Asset then picked up every album and track within the folder. The permissions are set to read as they were before I updated to DSM7.Īs a test, I then transferred all of my music from my ‘Steve Music’ folder into the default Synology Music folder and added that folder to Asset (See image 2). However when I select rescan folders detecting changes, it doesn’t find any of the albums or tracks within the folder. The folder then appears in the list (See image 1). I managed to add my folder titled Steve Music by selecting the ‘Edit as plain text’ option from the folder tab in Asset then copying and pasting the path /volume1/Steve Music into the field then selecting add followed by apply. Apologies for the late reply and thank you to everybody for their responses and suggestions.
