NAS Storage

the new HP mediaserver EX485 supports Mac's it runs MS home server, it has the best PC backup and imaging software. The new model just came out, I don't know if it's shipping yet.

I also have a Thecus N5200 Pro which is outstanding with 5 drives and Raid 5,6,10 and ISCSI but that is more for Tech heads, and they have some newer models also.

Ditto Chris at computeraudiophile.com.He set me up also with the Mac mini and Dac of my choice....he is the best,not to mention the easiest to talk to,good luck,Bob

I'm using a 1 terrabyte Time Capsule as an NAS. I have my home's first floor computers (including my wife's business machine) hardwired to the TC. My son's computer on the second floor access is wireless. I'm running a MacMini with a van de Hull Toslink cable to my DAC, & from there to my tube preamp and tube amp. I use iTunes for playback, and have all my music files in Lossless format. As for why I like it, foremost it's a Mac like the rest of our hardware, so setup,& interfacing with it is easy. The TC also automatically backs up the hardwired machines on the network. Thumbs up!

Rabco, can you access Rhapsody on your system? This is the reason I went with Sonos.

Jamesw20, interesting question. I haven't tried. The Rhapsody website lists the system requirements as specifying Windows OS of some kind, with no mention of Mac.Unless there's a work around I'm unaware of, I think the answer is no. Sorry about that!
