Well.. the Sox file is located in one of the subdirectories of my LmsRepack folder.

Hmm...

Ok, so you've got sox.exe but it may not be running. I know it's a bother but the best way for us to help is for you to install LMS on a PC, copy over some 16/44 and hi-res, and see if it works with your Nexus: without or with the earlier custom-convert.conf file.

I finally found some time to install LMS on my Win8 notebook.

I used the offical 7.7.5. version and after I set up everything I checked it with a 24/192 flac file and voilà ...it worked..played without any problems via my Nexus (and a custom-convert.conf file wasn´t even needed).

Am I right now that my NAS is the bottleneck?

Thanks so far for everybody´s help!!! Much, much appreciated.

Cheers,
M.

Don't ditch the NAS just run LMS on a PC and point it at the storage on the NAS. Tell LMS the storage path by UNC path eg \\NASIP\MusicFolder use the IP address rather than name - assuming your NAS has a static IP. IPs always work, names can fail. You can map the drive as well. Both the PC and NAS should be wired not wireless.
It should be straight forward.

You can have both LMS running without problem the player can switch between them as needed . So you can start the win8 computer when needed .

Or make down converted copies at a resolution that works for you (as this is what LMS has to do anyway).

Have a great sunny weekend.
