    Synology NAS: 1tb used but no files?

    I just got my first NAS, a synology DS220j. I have two 4tb drives in there using SHR. I had set it to backup my desktop computer overnight.

    n00b questions - receivers, stereo speakers and PCs

    My old living room receiver is dying, and I'm thinking about ways to juggle around equipment without busting the bank. However, I don't know too much about home audio - until recently I was too poor to have anything particularly nice. I currently have a Denon DM40 mini receiver connected to my...

    NuForce uDAC-2 and Win7 64

    Yesterday I put together a new PC, and my NuForce uDAC2 was working fine with it. I rebooted to let Windows update do it's thing, and now Windows won't cooperate with the NuForce.
