Re: Further Notes on the WD My Cloud Drive
The IOS version of the My Cloud App is excellent and is extremely flexible, you can for example do swaps of files from a Drpobox account to your My Cloud and so on, great for copying stacks of media files from one place to another.

Re: Further Notes on the WD My Cloud Drive
Hi! When you first set up your WD My Cloud you'll set up a My Cloud account for yourself and yes it can be used for streaming for those times when you're away from your home, you can use another Windows computer for the streaming, mobile phone etc. On 27/03/2015 9:31 AM, DAVID wrote: Hi.

SACD'S
Hi! Been a good while since I've sat down and had a listen to my small collection of Super Audio CD'S, I had an old Pioneer DVD Player which handled them however that player is not compatible with any of the newer equipment I own so SACD'S had to wait until I could afford to buy a compatible player. The compatible player arrived in the form of a Denon Blu-Ray player about 3 weeks ago ,time to take some time out from the grind, put my feet up and listen again. There's no doubt about it in my view, the upgraded player for SACD'S was certainly worth the while given that each channel of the audio is now digitally delivered to the Denon Surround-Sound receiver, each channel being delivered via its own speaker rather than having to rely on processing to do the same job, the old Pioneer player would also deliver the channels to each speaker but in an Analogue mode and you can certainly pick the difference. The Pioneer player connected to a multi channel amp or Surround-Sound receiver by the use of multiple VCA connecting cords, one lead for each channel and the connection couldn't be done digitally even though the Pioneer had a Digital out connection - two in fact - they would allow the streaming of standard Audio or Surround-Sound audio and not from SACD. The Denon player on the other hand is completely digital for everything, one HDMI connection handles up to 8 channels of audio, HD 4K video - if available - and all the other controlling stuff that HDMI is capable of, certainly makes life one hell of a lot easier connecting HDMI devices rather than doing things the traditional way with RCA and other cords. I guess you're all wondering, what's the use of me getting SACD'S if I can only play them on a compatible player? That's true if you want to enjoy the multi channel benefits of SACD however a SACD will play in standard stereo mode quite happily in a standard CD Player. Time to get back to my Jeff Waynes Super Audio CD Version of War Of The worlds, the classic double album from 1978. -- ** Those who need help are those who are prepared to help themselves
