Great move, and I say this as a Netgear ReadyNAS owner.

QNAP have been going forwards whilst (frankly) ReadyNAS have been going backwards for a couple of years.

If M could add more manufacturers with plug ins for their NASs this can only be positive for them. Most of these manufacturers have been offering Squeezebox server plug ins for a while, and adding an MC200 for core would not be hugely expensive, especially as it also provides a zone.

Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new.

Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.
