Hi all
Recently purchased the DS923+ Synology NAS and set it up to SHR-1 with 3*18TB drives.
I have Roon running on dedicated Intel NUC
I need to stream the media for Roon from DS923+
What are the settings I would need to do so?
Thanks

Just point to the location of your music files on the NAS from ROOM settings/storage. Roon will then index your library of music files and monitor changes.
Hi @Johnny_Skaaning
The shared folder on the NAS, Will Roon be able to pick that up.
On Windows usually we mount the shared folder, Is there a similar setting needed for Roon?
Not that I’m aware. If your NAS files are already available on your local network all you need to do is point ROON to that location.
It’s been a while since I setup my NAS and it’s running another proprietary OS than yours since it’s another brand (AsusTor vs. Synology), but once you figure out which folders to share from your NAS in your NAS settings, everything else should have access including ROON.
Click “add folder” and in the bottom left hand column there’s an option to “add network share”,
Edit: typing + added screenshot
Thanks @Johnny_Skaaning
Related question. I have seen Roon users preferring Hardrives directly connected to Roon core over media files on NAS.
I’m wondering if there is any impact on quality playing files from Nas?
No. You don’t have to worry about that - that’s the beauty. You just need to get the music data to your Roon core and all the ones and zeroes will sound exactly the same whether they came from cabled, wireless, usb, or whichever mode is possible. I don’t have almost no local files - except some stuff that I don’t find on Tidal and never listen to anyway - so who knows where my Tidal data comes from. It could be thousands of kilometers. It’s still the same data.

have you tried installing Roon-Core on the DS923 ? (SSD or M.2)
@Philippe_Gillet I’m not sure I understand the relevance of your question with regards to the original question which seems to have been answered.
If you are inquiring about running a Roon Server on your NAS for yourself, I would recommend starting a new topic.
