Hi all,
I have the above Oppo and currently I have files on my PC and using OShare (a DLNA piece of software) I can easily view any folders I have added to OShare on the network option on the Oppo.
While the Oppo has no nice artwork etc, I am very impressed by the Oppo's picture on the files. In my opinion it is better than my dedicated TVIX media player.
Anyway, I need a NAS and eventually I am going to get a DS415Play and build a HTPC like a NUC with XBMC or maybe Plex to access the NAS.
For now, back to the Oppo, I wonder if it is possible to hook up the NAS on the network in my router and read the files off of the NAS on the Oppo under Network?
I know the NAS has a dlna option so I could view the files, but what I don't want to happen is for this unit to do any transcoding etc or use its software that cannot do DTS. DTS is very important to me.
Basically what I am asking is, is it possible for me to setup some shared folders on the NAS itself and for the Oppo 103 to just access the folders, play the files and the Oppo passes all the information to my Onkyo amp so I get DTS and DTS HD?
Similar to what I do now basically but without using the PC and Oshare? I just want to Oppo to access the NAS directly and not lose DTS and DTS HD.
Thanks,
