MinimServer comparison with Synology Media Server

[cerobo]

I have got two Synology NAS systems running MinimServer and I have stopped using the Synology Media Server. Whilst it was considerably more difficult to get MinimServer up and running, the end results are superior in a couple of areas.

1. SQ - transcoding from FLAC to wav24 on my Naim ND5XS sounds noticeably better.
2. Handling of album artwork has been flawless on both my Naim and Cyrus streamers. I had previously had some issues with missing artwork using the Synology MS

If only setting up Java (and installing updates) on the NAS was not such a royal PITA!

Overall, I am very happy with MinimServer

Cheers,

Chris
