With the help of my local IT person, I installed a music server comprised of a RAID 5 3 TB NAS by Synology, a "control" laptop by Rain Computers, and a DAC by PS Audio (PerfectWave DAC II and network Bridge). At the time of the initial installation, my IT person and I had difficulty in getting MC to recognize the DAC. With the help of tech support at PS Audio, we finally got things working. The system has "blown up" two or three times since then, and has required the attention of my IT person.
We saw that the latest version had some fixes dealing with WASAPI and other things that we thought might make my system more stable. We uninstalled the older version of MC 18 and installed the 5-25-13 version. We never could get it to recognize the DAC, even though it was connected to the network and the Rain computer could ping it.
I need the professional help of someone who is experienced in the installation and troubleshooting of MC 18 in networked setups like mine. With remote access programs for computers (the Rain), location doesn't matter.
Thanks,
Tim
