Well, it's not really new. I cleared much of the clutter and moved it to our storage unit. Still have lots of work to do. This is what the setup now looks like in the unfinished basement. I consolidated stuff into one small Salamander S20 rack including the two NAS, Raspberry Pi streamer, and PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC. Music is remote controlled with Roon Remote on my iPad. I'll keep this minimal setup until it's actually time to start work on finishing the basement. It looks pretty ugly at the moment but sounds surprisingly nice with no walls within 8 feet on either side of the Thiel speakers. And the speakers are spaced a good 10 feet apart. Cronus Magnum, UPS, Synology NAS1 & NAS2, Backup HDD, Switch, RPi4 Streamer, PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC Thiel CS2.4 Speakers about 10-ft apart |

And yes its runs LMS just fine. A 718+/720+ is a bit pricier, but has a capable Intel quad core processor, lots of memory (I upgraded mine to 8 GB) and supports an external disk box for additional capacity (2+5). Today, however, you can put a pair of 14 TB drives in a 718/720 if necessary. :) Synology 720+ |

But they have a plug-in that will work on many NAS drives, depending on the 'chip' used. Multiple Synology flavors available here. The 718+/720+ would use the Synology Intel version. |
