Can this stream music from a NAS?

With the most recent update, I can now access music on my Western Digital My Cloud. So yes, it will stream from certain NAS drives. Check first with Bose to see which are compatible as not all are.

We are using PlayOn which is now integrated with Roku.It streams from a NAS unit on our network.Claimed to be a beta implementation but works flawlessly for us.

Yes. It can handle many nas. The more files you have the router out its to search for them.

Yes, it will be possible to stream music from it. Once the connection between your laptop and Belkin is done, every sound will be directed to Belkin receiver.

Hi Dan -- this is a network attached storage device, and as such your PC would access the NAS via the network connection. However, if your concern is access restriction, you can restrict access to other devices on the network in a variety of ways.

If your Synology NAS can use rsync, it looks to be absolutely doable. But I of course don't have a Synology to test this.

This is not a NAS it is a RAID so no you cannot use it without the card unless you hook it to a computer with other external sata ports. It does always require a system to work.

Yes. For example, I have my NAS adapter attached to 3.5-in laptop hard drive that is in an external case which only has a USB port. Follow the instructions and format the portable storage using the NAT adapter utility. By default, it creates 3 folders for you: Music, Photo, and Video. Plus there is a Media Server utility. So, again, I would have to say, yes.

I don't think so. Unless you could figure out a way to network a USB device but at that point you're better off buying a product meant to be a NAS. FYI, my unit failed after 1 month. Don't buy this product.

You don´t need install any software on your PC/Mac. The NAS has the most popular protocols: SMB and CIFS (Windows PC), FTP, NFS (Linux) and AFP (Apple computer). It also has media server protocol (multimedia streaming in smart devices like cellphones, smart TV, game console, etc), and time machine feature (Apple network backup) but I couldn´t make that works :-(. The device came with some application (mostly backup utilities and NAS networks discovery), but the instalation is optional.

Yes it can. Please ignore the other answers. I'm not sure why someone would answer this question if they don't know what a NAS is. The reason to get this unit instead of the cheaper Micca Speck is that it connects to your home network over wi fi or a network cable, and plays files from any source on that network, including your NAS. The cheaper version only plays files from USB storage connected directly to the unit. There are two ways of doing this: Having the NAS present a file share to your network (the same way the NAS appears as a drive/share on your computer), which the Micca then reads just like that directory were on a hard drive that had been connected directly, or via DLNA/uPnP, where you set up which media files you want to share on the NAS using the UPNP or DLNA consoles, then those files only are made available to the Micca.

This will support a VMware image over a LAN connection, I would suggest using the aggregated ethernet option which this also supports. DO NOT do anything funky like running encrypted RAID 0/1/5 etc. Run an ext3 (limit 16GB file size) with what ever flavor of raid you like. This will not be fast but will work. Have the VMplayer on a desktop / Laptop and point the player / workstation to the file located on the NAS box.

Yes it does. The GUI is via web and from Windows or Mac you can map the NAS to access the content. No complaints with mine. Very good product.

I stream mkvs from a NAS all the time. It can access PC file systems too. The best part is that it will automatically retrieve movie info for those mkvs.I have no personal experience with HD audio. You can check the A-400 forum for that.

It's not listed as compatible, your best bet is to use a drive listed as compatible from the NAS category of drives, purpose built for use in a NAS.

Yes it does. But don't expect dedicated NAS performance. Use the Voyager App it's optimized to work over wifi.
