You need a component on the LAN that has network file access to the NAS unit, and that will also work as a DLNA/UPnP server to other devices. If you want to cast music from the phone to another device, that is not what the text below is about! You also want the music files to be seen by your Arcam unit. It sounds like you you want hear music coming out of your phone, but your music files are stored on a NAS. All in all it works reliably and well at a fraction of the cost of Roon and without requiring the NAS computing power which Roon needs when run on a Synology. Afik Tidal interfaces also with mconnect). As I also use Qubuz, mconnect is a convenient one-fits-all interface for me which also controls the volume of the player (Denon X3700, pre-amp Mode only). The data is directly streamed from the NAS (Synology 920+, 16G RAM, 512G SSD Cache) to the player, in my case the X3700. Synology runs the simple Mediaserver as the interface is handled by mconnect and the Synology Mediaserver can be selected as a source within mconnect. It also allows you to stream via UPNP, Airplay etc to any player showing up on your local network. It is the interface and enables you to select several music libraries (eg Quobuz or local ones such as from any NAS).

On my iPhone/IPads I run mconnect (costs a small fee). In fact, it’s no exaggeration to say that all of the top five apps should be used.If your Arcam is able to act as UPNP client, the following might work (I use it for my Denon X3700).

However, I confidently declare, “No problem”. Can’t you use the #5 app? You may be thinking, I’m going to do this. Here they are, in ranking form, in order of 5th place. The user interface is well thought out and easy to use.Īdvertisements, frequency of display, and content of advertisements. (Fast look, De-interlace, Equalizer, etc.) Recognize tags, such as cover art, properly. Supports MP3, AAC, FLAC, and ALAC format files. Itemsįaster loading of DLNA servers and file lists. I rated the app on the items listed in the table, which is what I need as a media player.
