After some research, I finally pulled the trigger on the 851N.
Amazing sound, beautiful build quality but I am having some setup challenges. I'll ask about each of my 'sources' seperatly:
1. Synology ReadyNAS for my library. At first, it found the media server, but only indexed the handful of (junk) .mp3 files. After poking around, the CA docs themselves recommend MinimServer MinimServer which I did setup and the 851N finds all my 3000 flac albums now. Success! The only problem is, what to use for cover-flow from a mobile device? I need to be able to use tablet/phone to page through Netflix style and hit Play there. Suggestions? Happy to switch to another media server (I use Plex for movies, but doesn't look like 851N supports Plex?).
2. Tidal. I have a subscription and log in fine etc. but when I use the app and hit "Play" it plays from my phone. How do i use the phone to pick and play music on the 851N?
3. Soundcloud - HOW can i get Soundcloud on my 851N? Seems like folks talk about 'Chromecast' but Chromecast use HDMI and there is no HDMI on the 851N. This service is extremely important to me (for discovery) so any help here is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance! I've noticed a lack of information on this so perhaps this will become a thread that helps lots of folks.
