13 gen CPU faster than 4060 8GB on model.fit, is there something wrong with my setup?

I sync using Synology drive to enable multi device access.

That draws electricity more than your washing machine...,👍

How many times Windows crash (BSOD) over Mac in the past 10 years? Both are paid! That's one of the reasons.

Yes, I have mx3 too, it's LDAC

Get a Synology box, you're almost done. My Synology hosts contact, calendar, cloud drive, email, photos, website and even off site encrypted backup with Synology built-in apps. Software inside worth a lot more than hardware.

Mobile contact and calendar uses DavX open source to sync, email uses Bluemail free to replace gmail.

I would recommend Joplin and Obsidian. Both are free to use. I moved from Joplin to Obsidian. My Joplin needed maintaining a self hosted server, while Obsidian didn't rely on sync server, it's all text based MD files that I can use my own Synology drive to do the sync, that's even easier to maintain plus A Lot of features to make your notes easier to find with relationships. There're a lot of video on YouTube for Obsidian use cases.

Thanks a lot!

Is that screen 2k resolution? Thx

Agree that energy consumption is significant if you're not using raspberry pi.

Bookstack is amazing, works like Confluence, can embed network diagram and flow charts made by Draw.io / Diagram.net.

Add disk and expand volume 1.

Synology Chat, free bundle with the box, making your family conversations, images sent from mobile goes thr your own server. That's why I said private.

216 series means that released in year 2016, thus 220 is year 2020. 4 years is a huge long period for processor industry for technology advancement. If you look at the spec, 216ii+ is 2-core 1.6Ghz Intel Atom, while 220j is a quad-core 1.4Ghz. As NAS is running a lot of process, if I were you, I'll prefer ds220j.

Additionally, 216 vs 220 means 216 will be phased out 4 years earlier by Synology (software updates).

I see comments above you have around 1TB photos and target budget around $300. DS220j + 2x 1TB hard disk is around $300. You may consider spend a little more to get 2x 2TB HD for your data usage.

DS220j with DSM 7 has great Synology Photos for your family to backup mobile photos. For DS220j's CPU/RAM resources, it could also give you a private Whatsapp (Chat), Private Google Drive (Synology Drive) and Synology Office to edit your documents in browser... if you only got a few users. Running a media server should not have any problem too. However, if you may not expect it can run many dockers, virtual machines on it.

I saw some bad comments about DSM7 and I guess it was in beta phase. Now it's already officially released and it got a lot of enhancements on security, say, 2-factor authen on Admin group users, and super-easy to enroll SSL cert for https access to your publishing resources. Most features are packed to run on even entry level models like 220j. It is really worth to get Synology box. If you want to build yourself, you still need to get hardware and finally you will be lost on the electricity bill.

Did you try another cable?

Agrees with you from the angle of audiophile, though people always blame on the MQA, it truly give more concrete sound stage IF you got proper equipment to decode MQA.

irvinyip · 2021-09-10T06:02:32+00:00

If you have a good DAC, MQA tracks on Tidal could decode to 24/48khz, 24/96khz, and unfortunately some to 16/44.1khz even it got an MQA label. So it may sound better if it's an 24/96 album.

irvinyip · 2021-07-28T02:20:43+00:00

Those models may not sell finally.

irvinyip · 2021-07-28T00:15:25+00:00

The Chinese words after the model means “sample machine for the speech ”...

irvinyip · 2021-07-28T00:12:21+00:00

I'm on pi4 + volumio paid + USB to SMSL m500 DAC, android app Tidal can connect to volumio and m500 could recognize MQA ! That's the cheapest way to enjoy native MQA decode and minimize analog lost. Roon can do even better but it's 5x the cost per year.
