A NAS; wouldn’t be surprised if this is a computer running Linux Most of them don’t have provisions for audio but this one does: https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/tutorials/499 Most of the time (you don’t want a “computer”) this is solved by using a streaming audio player. They come in all flavors from cheap to $$$$ A couple of them can be found on my website: http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/HW/DAP.htm Most of them are DLNA so you can control them over the WiFi with any UPnP/DLNA app. I have good results with UPnPlay The Well Tempered Computer |

I currently have a HRT Streamer connected to my Synology DS212 for a small area away from my lounge room. HRT is recognised by Synology NAS and music can be played directly to it using either the Synology Web interface on a PC or, in my case, the DS Audio android App. I then have the HRT Streamer connected to a headphone amp. Handy if I don't want to sit in the lounge room when the TV is on Music can be directed to the HRT Streamer or directly to the phone (In my case, a Nexus 4). Go here for a list all devices that have been shown as compatible with the Synology - All Devices Or here for compatible USB audio devices - USB Audio Cheers Welly He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife.
