The kinsky app sees the music files but there is no room or source to choose from and the controls are not enabled. I suspect I'm missing something obvious here. I simply want to control my music on the nas and enable usb to dac. If Kinsky can't do it what can. Iv got Rompr to work but I'm looking for alternatives. I don't have any Linn equipment. I tried Kazoo and that also just sits on my laptop doing nothing. Any further ideas?

Kinsky is looking for a UPnP renderer. Do you have your USB DAC plugged into the NAS? If so, I think it is possible (but not simple) to install and set up XBMC on the NAS to act as the UPnP renderer.

Quote:One further observation. I have downloaded Mimimserver & Minimwatch and have desk top icons on my desk top. I cant open either of them???
Thanks

As I explianed in a previous post, double-clicking on the desktop launch icon for MinimWatch creates a small minim icon in the system tray. All MinimWatch functionality is accessed by right-clicking this system tray icon, not from the desktop launch icon. If you have installed MinimServer on Windows, this works in a similar way.
