I am looking to build a Plex Media Server on a NAS box I can leave on all the time. It would be for music ONLY, no movies or any other media. Any recommendations? I would prefer SSD drives, probably 500GB - 1TB.
Also some issues I am dealing with:
If I run the Plex app on my ROKU, the first beat of every song gets cut off, which is slightly annoying, and there is a pretty lengthy gap between songs (1 sec or so), which is expected since there is no gapless playback. I run my ROKU into a Marantz AV7702mkii preamp.
I can access my media server directly on the Marantz preamp, and the issue on the ROKU is pretty much eliminated - very little lag and beginnings of songs are intact. However, FLAC and WAV files do not play on the Marantz for some reason (I get a file format error). The ROKU plays both formats fine. I would not think that this preamp would have an issue with WAV files… it is only 1 year old - but I could be wrong. Most of my music is in AAC 320 format anyway, and from a quality standpoint my ears don’t hear much difference if any. But if anyone has ideas about fixing that, please let me know.
Cheers,
Mathias
