Accessing Melco from MinimServer on QNAP

[Peter@57m]

Thank you Simon

I will try both ways.

However this is leading me to the conclusion that I was most likely fooling myself that I had MinimServer running on the QNAP with the files stored on the Melco.

I wanted to try doing this as I had a Roon Nucleus plus on trial. It was reading and indexing the files on the Melco. The playback music path seemed to be Melco file to GS105 switch to Roon Nucleus plus to switch to Melco to KDSM.

At times I thought the Roon sounded better than the Melco direct at other times the reverse. The Roon was obviously taking some processing off the Melco and I wanted to see if I could replicate this with the Melco and QNAP, by having the QNAP MinimServer serve the music rather that the Melco.

Will have a go in November when I get back from a diving trip :-)
