User Reviews

DS audio provides strong NAS-based streaming and easy setup, but is plagued by login/connection issues, playback instability, and inconsistent CarPlay support, all compounded by a dated UI and sparse updates.

Pros

Streams your own NAS library to the iPhone with solid NAS integration.
Fast setup and easy playlist import; it often just works.
Keeps most music on the NAS and only downloads or streams the tracks you choose to play on the device.
CarPlay support is available (though not always polished), aiding in-car playback.

Cons

Frequent NAS login/authentication prompts and login data not saved across sessions.
Playback frequently skips or stops mid-track, making listening unreliable.
CarPlay integration can be unreliable or half-baked, with login prompts and inconsistent behavior.
App feels neglected with years of bugs and slow updates, resulting in a dated UI.

Do you think that's stupid? Then wait till you try and use anything on Synology! 2 factor authentication to listen to your music!? Synology is a pedantic waste of of space, time, money and effort. I can't wait till they go away becasue of their ridiculousness! Go to H.E. hockey sticks Synology!
