Hi, I am traveling and suddenly my JRiver apps on MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad cannot find my music files on my Synology NAS. JRiver connects to the music server, the iMac, and can see the library/albums/songs, but when i choose a track nothing plays and I get the error message: Audio Streaming Error. There was a problem playing the current audio file. : Yet I can connect and play music using Synology's audio station app. Has anyone experienced this? Can this be fixed remotely or do I need to wait until I return home? Thanks Bill

In the Audiophile Solder thread (during the on-topic posts) I had been thinking about contact enhancers like Cramolin and Tweak and the idea of connections in audio gear. I have used Cramolin on all my audio, video, and even computer connections as a preventative measure. I don't recall a situation where I could have done a proper A/B comparison of its use in my audio system because there were just too many variables and my non-rigorous application timings. But, I also use it in my repair and tuning of brass model locomotives (the Hi-End of model railroading). I can clearly see a marked improvement in running performance after the appropriate application of the contact enhancer. I wonder if that is a more 'objective' measurement then listening Do you use any of these types of products ? What have your results been ? Anyone tried a A/B test on system wide applications ?

Hello... What is the best way to connect an iMac (with USB, thunderbolt, ethernet and a headphone jack) to an integrated amp that has an optical Toslink and USB --- and is about 36 feet away? Thanks.
