Last time I streamed HD contents via wireless on my media player and after a while, my router overheat and my router can be considered half-dead. The performance of my router degraded so much and hangs very often. Since then, I stream over a wired LAN setup. laugh.gif

Any issue to stream high bit rate bluray movie over wired LAN? I'm thinking to changing to HD-Dune Smart D1, my xtreamer has problem to stream high bit rate 1080p movies, and also BDISO file.

How high is the bit rate? As long your wired LAN can achieve at least 15-20mbps should do fine for most files already.

20Mbps is low bit rate for 1080p movie, high bit rate is >50Mbps, a decent 100Mbs NIC can achieve 90% of the bandwidth, which is above 90Mbps. I heard the Realtek chip is poor at network throughput, my xtreamer ftp throughput at best is near 40Mbps, so when stream the high bit rate 1080p movie, it stutters ... I hope sigmal chipset won't have this issue.

Samsung is one of the cheapest. Also fairly reliable. But like any HDD, still got chance of failure. Find a shop that has 7 day, 1 to 1 exchange. Buy it then go home and test (say using surface scan). If got problem, go back and exchange.

8-bay probox is interesting. But too tall so won't fit in shelf. Also I think I prefer 2x 4-bay, then no need to have all the HDD running all the time. Such a waste of power having all 8 HDD running but watching only from 1.

I have 2 x 1TB and 1 x 1.5TB and 1 x 2TB hard disk, all are sleeping (stop spinning) when idle > 1 hour, then wake up if access it.

Actually those desktop HDDs are not designed to run for 24 x 7 x 365, it will fail after 1 - 2 years if you running in this way.

A desktop HDD can fail any time, so far I don't see any brand is damn reliable. all about the same, it is all depend your luck. so backup is the best practise.

In my case, I have a NAS server (powered by a Solaris 11 PC) running mediatomb uPnP server. the mediatomb uPnP is a media server that able to stream audio and video to DLNA compatible player.

My Yamaha V2067 is certified with DLNA, so I just use my Yamaha iPhone apps to remote connect V2067 to mediatomb media server and I can play FLAC music to my amp.

Htkaki, your Denon 4310 is able to play FLAC or wave format music from UPNP media server, and Synology Diskstation has builtin DLNA/uPNP capable media server, so I believe you don't need the Dune HD to play music, just use your Denon 4310 directly play music (either WAV or FLAC format) from the synology diskstation.
