At present i have a Synology NAS running Minimserver and a Chord Hugo DAC with a Naim NDX, the NDX is about to be sold. Im looking for a new streamer and have also auditioned an Aurender, but was wondering if the Melco could be used with its USB out into Hugo, this part i know works, but rather than using the storage on the Melco i would like to keep my music files on my NAS.

Could Minimserver sitting on the NAS or on the Melco use the files on my NAS.

I am using the USB streaming output of my Melco N1A to drive a Chord Hugo TT DAC. The sound (after burn-in) is excellent and the only problem is a short gap between tracks. Melco have told me this will be fixed in a future version of the N1A firmware.

I am running MinimServer on the N1A with my audio files also on the N1A. If you don't want to copy your audio files to the N1A, you could run MinimServer on your Synology NAS and use the N1A+Hugo as a UPnP renderer (streamer).
