Looking for advice please.
I have been using iTunes for several years, have a huge library, and have playlists.
I use a Synology DiskStation NAS drive and have purchased a Cambridge Audio 851N & 851A. Some of my music files are 320kbps MP3 and some are lossless Alac files ripped from my CDs which now live in the loft. I have noticed crackling in certain files (usually on intro and outro of songs) and it seems to be only on iTunes using airplay.
I have used the DS (Synology) Audio thingy and I find this horrifically slow (5 minutes to respond to skip/pause, etc), and maintaining playlists is a horrendous process
Please can someone recommend a good uPnP or DLNA program that I can use instead of iTunes, but must be compatible with the Synology Diskstation and compatible with my Cambridge Audio 851N. I am not worried about iPod or using my phone to store the music. But ideally can import and maintain my existing playlists, though this is not life or death.
Disclaimer : What I know about UpNp players and DLNA I could write on a postage stamp.
Any help is HUGELY appreciated, as this random and seemingly unsolveable crackling in airplay is doing my head in
