I have been thinking about this. In your previous posts about this, I thought the comparison was between (1) playing music from the NAS via MinimServer and (2) playing music locally from the PC. From what you have said in this thread, it seems that in case (2) you are not playing music locally from the PC but you are running MinimServer on the PC and playing music remotely from the NAS. Given this, I am not sure why there is a difference in sound quality because both cases involve streaming music from the NAS to play it on the PC.

I don't think this would make much difference. I have the impression that the overhead with remote scanning is somewhere in the SMB protocol (or the way it is used by Java to scan directories and read file attributes) rather than in network data transfer speed. If anyone has has done a comparison of remote scanning using different network speeds, I would be interested to know the results.

NAS have 2258 items in music library.
1. 100 Mbps. Rescan time is about 70 sec. (Time of first library scanning after adding library is 160 sec.)
2. 1000 Mbps. Rescan time is about 45 sec.
