    Depends on the speed of the NAS. But even a NSLU could serve 2 SBs and a Computer simultaneously. A very fast NAS could serve dozends bandwidth permitting.

    a NSLU2 can serve much more.
    Streaming by itself is only limited by the available bandwidth.
    Now when you do transcoding, again the bandwidth (we’re transcoding to RIFF/WAVE) is a limit.

    Only the short time periods when multiple clients browse songs, playlists etc, the CPU usage spikes. But even on a NSLU2 those periods are reasonable small.

    So unless you’re talking hundreds of clients, a regular PC will do fine.
