Highend Audio-Server (Asset+Roon): The best audio server currently available, the Asset UPNP server, is used. It supports all high-resolution formats, including the DSD format. DSD files are converted to PCM format on the fly so that they can be played back with any player. Native DSD playback is supported by the optionally available JRiver Media Center. In addition, the Asset-UPNP is the only one to pass on all information for classical music, such as conductor, composer, soloist and much more (full support of the Sonata database). ROON server is also pre-installed.

...

Error free storage (SSD): Especially with high-resolution music, error-free storage is important. The AssetNAS D5 is therefore equipped with fast and error-free SSD. In addition, the AssetNAS can also access the music from external USB disks or even network drives (for example, a NAS in the basement).

...

Automatic Backup: As soon as an external hard disk is connected via USB, a backup is automatically made daily. A backup can also be made to a network drive. The backed-up data is stored unencrypted on the hard disk.

...

Highend Player (KODI, JRiver, Roon): KODI is already pre-installed. It is operated with an app on an iOS or Android tablet or smartphone. Optionally, JRiver for native DSD playback can also be installed. The output can be via an analogue output or USB. More and more DACs support control via USB, where the digital data can be received unchanged by the DAC. An analogue output is also preset via the front headphone output. If a DSD-compatible DAC is connected to USB, the optionally available JRiver can play back DSD files natively. Supported audio formats: FLAC, Apple Lossless, MP3, AIFF, WAV, DSF, AAC, WMA and more.

...

DSD-Support: The AssetNAS optimally supports the streaming and playback of DSD files. The Asset-UPNP server converts the DSD files into PCM on-the-fly, so that all UPNP players can play them. In addition, the AssetNAS also supports editing the metadata of DSF files. If a DSD-capable USB DAC is connected, native DSD playback (without conversion to PCM) is even possible. The JRiver player offered supports native DSD.

...

Ein Server für alle: AssetNAS is a server for all UPnP/DLNA streaming clients, Sonos, Logitech Squeezebox and many more. Every known file format is supported by the server, on-the-fly transcoding is possible.

...

Why more power?
Players like Roon run at 1080p and 50 frames per second including audio analysis in the background. The JRIVER also does an audio analysis and pre-calculates the data for perfect playback. A lack of computing capacity during playback leads to missing data and thus to a lower sound depth.

...
