Which Qnap for Minim Server?

In the process of buying a suitable NAS for my Naim NDX streamer, and came across MinimServer as a way of having a good server software resident on a NAS, as I don't want to commit a PC/Mac to that duty full time, nor leave it on constantly.

I was pleased to find it will run on Qnap NASs, but wondered, since I'll actually be buying the NAS for this purpose, whether any particular model will run Minim better?

I was considering a Qnap TS-219P II, or maybe a TS-419P II, will these run Minim reliably and with all features? I'm particularly interested in Minim transcoding Flac to Wav on the fly, but don't know if the processor, etc. in these models will cope with this...

Any info and/or advice very gratefully accepted before I part with cash on the NAS!

Cheers,

James

Either of these would be fine. They both have the same CPU and RAM, so it's just a matter of whether you want 2 bays or 4 bays.
