NAS media players (for FLAC music and DVD) and connectivity
Discussion
I'm fairly clueless about modern technology, so go easy on me!!
I have a non smart TV, a Naim Uniti and Sonos play 5 and would like to get rid of all my physical DVDs and CDs and put all the content on a NAS drive.
I'm looking at something like http://dbmservers.tictail.com/product/3tb-dbm-prem... which seems to be fairly plug and play. In terms of music, I'd stream the digital FLAC files to the Naim and let the on board DAC do the rest. Can the SONOS do the same?
For the TV, this is bit where I get confused. Various people have suggested a wired connection to avoid dropout, but what happens if I upgrade my router to something very modern like: http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/products/18905-net... ?
Also, in terms of getting the DVD information off the NAS onto the TV, a) how would I achieve this and b) I presume I need an interface to be able to choose the DVD in the first place?
Apologies if this is obvious to those in the know.
