Trouble streaming hi-res audio:

<< < (4/4)

So, is there a buffer that I can increase the size of?
Is there a "mode" in which MC acts strictly as a controller and directs the audio to go from NAS to the Naim?
Some other solution? I expect the bandwidth problem may be due to walls between the WAP and the laptop.
The laptop does not live near a ethernet jack, which is why it operates wirelessly. Also, this is the only case in which there is a problem.

Any ideas?

Hi
I found this thread because I have the  same problem. A synology NAS connected  to an  Asus N55u modem/router that streams  wirelessly to a Pioneer n30 and to a laptop. When I play 192/24 files on my laptop (near the Pioneer) it plays OK, but the  Pioneer behaves like your Naim.
I Wonder if you solved your problem and how.
Thanks in advance
Regards

I did solve my problem. I tried a new router/access point but that still didn't help. Then I realized I was getting much better throughput in other parts of the house. That indicated to me that my normal laptop location was in too weak an area. I had an old router that I hadn't gotten around to selling yet. I plugged that into a hard connection I had that was line-of-sight to my laptop. My connection went from averaging 50 - 6- mbps to 300 mbps.

And now it all works just fine. Playback from my NAS to MC to my Naim works without a problem.

I was lucky in that I had a LAN port unused and in a convenient location. I know some people use powerline networking but that can have issues crossing circuits so I didn't try it.

The other option that worked was using MC as a controller only and thus the music moved over wired lines from the NAS to the Naim, but controlled by MC. I didn't like that option as much as I had to create a second library for that.
