What is a DS player?

Why does it sound better than the CD12?

What makes the DS players “open”?

How does music get onto a standard Ethernet network in the first place?

  1. How do I get my music onto a NAS?
  2. When I buys a new CD, how do I rip it onto the NAS?
  3. I download music from the Internet? Will downloaded music play on the DS players?
  4. Can my NAS be used by my other networked products, like other music players, or used for other purposes, like storing home videos?
  5. Should the my NAS be backed up?
  6. Does the NAS have to be in the same room as the DS player?
  7. What should I do if my CD collection is too big to fit on one NAS?
  8. Can I create a DS player multi-room system?
  9. Should I use wired or wireless Ethernet (Wi-Fi)?
  10. How should I control a DS player?
  11. Can other UPnPTM controllers operate the DS players?
  12. Can I save playlists that I create using the Linn GUI?
  13. What audio formats do the DS players support?
  14. Why does Linn recommend FLAC?
  15. Why doesn't the DS players support other audio formats (aac, wma, etc)?
  16. I already have lots of music stored on a hard drive. Do I have to transfer it to a NAS or can I use my existing PC / Mac hard drive?
  17. I already have a NAS running SlimServer, which I use with Squeezeboxes around my house. Can I also run TwonkyMedia or another UPnP server on the same NAS and access my music from a DS player in one room and Squeezeboxes in the other rooms?
  18. How do I set up a Computer Network?
  19. Where can I get training on Computer Networks and Ethernet systems?
