I recently changed my Synology running a native DLNA server to QNAP running Twonky.

+ Music quality is much more superior with QNAP.

+ Album cover management is now consistent

- you cannot manage playlists with Twonky, but with Synology you could not refresh them other than with a Moment database rebuild 

= MoodWheel bugs are same for me on both NAS

Hi All - for those having a music library, how many of you have more than 10000 tracks in it?

I have 10641 tracks - just checked ;-)

MM

19000 flac/24b flac

I have connected my Moment with the Synology DS214 and it works nearly perfect. Only with the cover display I have problems. 

I can recommend the DS214. 

Same here, with approx. 4000/5000 tracks. Only thing that doesn't work is multiroom between Moment and Essence mk2.

What do you mean exactly ? Because I do not understand how the storage can have any influence over the quality of music §

Thanks for the answers, I have 31117 tracks and lot of Mood Wheel issues.

BeoCare asked be to lower down my library to 10000 and check if it brings more consistency to the Mood Wheel as I leaned that the Mood Wheel process does not manage more than 10000 tracks ....

Issues I have:

Pressing a point on the Mood Wheel starts by playing a tune but stops at the end of it or even before the end of it.
Sometimes there is no tune to play next .... out of 31k tunes in the library is it shocking
Sometimes there are other tunes in the list, but no jump to the next one, music just stops.
Sometimes it progress well but stops after an average of 10 tunes, I have to resume the streaming by pressing another point on the Mood Wheel, not why I expect from the device
Sometimes it plays well, in loop, and with too many repeats of the same track

Anybody with at least one of this symptoms? particularly with library > 10k

Cheers

My wife and I noticed a serious sound quality improvement when I started to use the QNAP NAS, and my wife usually does not pay attention to these details. 
The only component that could make the difference is the DLNA service which on Synology is a Synology product (Media Server) v.s. Twonky that I installed and used on the QNAP (QNAP has also its own DLNA media server that I have not tested yet).

Hope it is clearer.

I think you had transcoding of FLAC files into MP3 turned on, on your synology. 

Apart for a MP3 transcoding done on the Synology, I do not see any reason why the Audio quality should be lower on a Synology NAs
