Couldn't agree more! Having moved to a relatively inexpensive Raspberry Pi3, and after a bit of back and forth to the forum to set it up correctly, I am finding it fast, easy to update LMS, handles FLAC 24/192 effortlessly, and scans the library on the NAS in a third of the time than the NAS did it. Rescans take only a couple of minutes. I went back to LMS on the NAS momentarily and found it slow and frustrating.
