#Run logitech media server on synology nas software

The other 'devices', include a phone, tablet, PC, Arcam etc., and device will then need to run client software that can 'see' the DLNA server on your LAN for playback of the music, and have means to control viewing and presenting music files to the playback system - the controller and playback system might be combined. You need a component on the LAN that has network file access to the NAS unit, and that will also work as a DLNA/UPnP server to other devices. If you want to cast music from the phone to another device, that is not what the text below is about! You also want the music files to be seen by your Arcam unit. It sounds like you you want hear music coming out of your phone, but your music files are stored on a NAS. All in all it works reliably and well at a fraction of the cost of Roon and without requiring the NAS computing power which Roon needs when run on a Synology. Afik Tidal interfaces also with mconnect). As I also use Qubuz, mconnect is a convenient one-fits-all interface for me which also controls the volume of the player (Denon X3700, pre-amp Mode only). The data is directly streamed from the NAS (Synology 920+, 16G RAM, 512G SSD Cache) to the player, in my case the X3700.

Synology runs the simple Mediaserver as the interface is handled by mconnect and the Synology Mediaserver can be selected as a source within mconnect. It also allows you to stream via UPNP, Airplay etc to any player showing up on your local network.

It is the interface and enables you to select several music libraries (eg Quobuz or local ones such as from any NAS). On my iPhone/IPads I run mconnect (costs a small fee). If your Arcam is able to act as UPNP client, the following might work (I use it for my Denon X3700).
