QNAP TS-670 6-bay SMB NAS Review

In this review we will take a look on the powerful TS-670 NAS server from QNAP, which sports a Intel Celeron G550 at 2.6Ghz, 2GB of DDR3 SODIMM, but also 4 LAN interfaces which support Link Aggregation. While these specifications would recommend the product to be utilized only in enterprise environments, the NAS does not lose the multimedia functions by providing all necessary interfaces in order to use it as an entertainment system.

"XBMC is currently available at the 12.2 “Frodo” (current stable release) build, and with it we will be able to browse all the multimedia content like photos, music or video"

very nice feature that HDMI output, and XBMC remains king for playing media on TV, there's also a very nice remote iOS/Android official app which is smooth to use and operate; automatically adding subtitles if available.
also the different XBMC skins make the interface quite customizable to your taste.

was wondering about the audio processing hardware in the QNAP, what audio formats does it support?
not all systems are equal, not all support the latest DTS standards that come with bluray media for playback;

Hi John,

Will ask tech support and get back to you regarding the Audio question.
