LMS on latest ReadyNAS products?

use the Wandboard [ ] solely to host LMS and read files from the NAS, and use the Touch's audio output via my existing DAC.

I'm hoping that will improve the very slow performance of LMS on the NV+. Do you think it's worth a try? And if you don't want to replace your NAS, almost any PC built in the last decade will run LMS perfectly well, too. For less than the cost of the Wandboard, you can get on Craigslist and buy an old desktop that'll run circles around it.

As noted above, the wandboard dual approach will cost about $150. I switched my LMS server from ReadyNAS to a wandboard mounting ReadyNAS about 10 months ago. Yes, a PC will probably run LMS faster, but it's hard to beat a 5W diskless computer that doesn't need maintenance. LMS native on the ReadyNAS Pro was very fast. My wandboard dual handles a 25K track library with multiple SB classic and SB touch players with 10 second response upon entering the top-level directories (~300 directories). I expect better performance from the wandboard quad. Also note other users experience performance differences across different versions of LMS.
