Here’s where I’m at.
First up I get the benefits of a NAS over an islanded hard drive. No point trying to jury-rig a cheap NAS just to take advantage of my existing 5TB HDD. It’ll be inferior, and it’d be sensible to use that anyway for backup, even if I am using a RAID setup on the NAS.
So, i’ll buy a NAS and rip my CD collection to it. I will point my client device(s) at the NAS. Right-o.
A 2TB NAS (£300) and Sonos Connect (£350) is gonna stand me at £650. If I want to add extra rooms it’s easy with Sonos One.
But the Brennan B2 is also a 2TB NAS with a client device integrated. It’s £550. It works with Sonos. The DAC section might be a little nicer. But I am not sure if it’s as versatile as a true NAS? Could I store DVDs and photos on it for instance? Need to read up on that.
