I have been recording my LP records to my W7 PC as .wav files, and play them back to a mini stereo system amplifier and speakers.
I would like to move on to where the music files are off my PC and on a NAS drive connected to a seperate amplifier with multi speaker connections and remotely controlled from a laptop , Ipad or Android, without the need to have the PC on.
The Marantz PM6005 amplifier has full remote control and seems to meet my requirements, but I need to to clarify the network audio player connection. I have no laptop or Ipad but I do have an Android smartphone.
What I do not understand is NAS drives, and networking. Is an audio network player similar to NAS drive?
How does one access's the individual files on the NAS drive to create playlists etc, do they have a flie manager pre loaded. Can they be connected to a standalone router which gives a wifi connection to my android smartphone using an app.
