It means that instead of a hugely expensive MD600 (or TwinStore, etc.), that acts as a mirrored drive NAS for Sooloos only, you can buy a hugely expensive QNAP NAS (we don't know which models apply as yet) that will act as a store for your Sooloos, as well as acting as a standard NAS for files, videos etc. So storage no longer requires a proprietary solution.

It remains to be seen if the QNAP can act as Core, probably not.

I'd be very surprised if M use this to go back to video, but there are plenty of non-M options that will enable you to use the single QNAP NAS to store both.

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.
