"If in the download center in our web site : https://www.synology.com/fr-fr/support/download/DS212j your packages is not here and here the MinimServer show all models supported https://www.synology.com/fr-fr/dsm/app_p...inimServer and the DS212j is not supported.
The DVBlink is supported but not the Minim server. "

Guess I'll end up installing Minimserver on a Mac mini which I'll then have to link to the NAS. I'd have preferred to go directly from the NAS to the Aries - and still struggle to believe the NAS being the issue - but probably have to take my losses.

appreciate all the hints and efforts suggested!

I installed MinimServer on a 212j and it is working like a charm. My setup is very similar to yours. I am feeding an Aries controlled by the Auralic Lightning DS App and I am impressed by the way all the different elements (NAS, Aries, DAC & iPad) seamlessly work together.

I was concerned that performance would be an issue as the 212j is not exactly a powerhouse (with a rather anemic processor an just a little RAM) but the unit is handling it's part of the process with aplomb.

In summary: it does work (quite well actually). Please let me know if I can answer any specific questions you might have.
