Should that not be a “square wave form” behind the BDP-1?

I can't comment on their RAID performance as I chose a single-drive DS110j.  I like the administration software and the ability to schedule a power on and off routine (don't know if each and every model supports this).  My model uses 9W when on and idle.
 
They are not fanless, but I believe a fan cooled enclosure can only contribute to increased reliability.
 
It's hard to find negative comments and reviews on them, and NAS type devices are all that they manufacture.  They also have well implemented support, software downloads, forum and website organization.

Werd how about you take a look here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Stream_Digital

and check the differences between a PCM and a DSD signal in the top right picture.

AFAIK neither the BDA nor the BDP understand DSD.

Hi Steve,

I was looking at the D210. Looks very attractive to me because of the ability to backup itself to an USB/eSATA disc connected to it. Not sure if I need RAID 1 though since I plan to backup this way. So maybe I could go for a single disk one.

They also mention an adapter that would allow to install 2.5" drives - reducing noise and heat.

Very interesting stuff, if it's stable with no issues I would go for it.

I found tests here http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas but they don't address how stable they are in real life use.

Oh you are talking about the graphics behind the bdp on the left... That definitely is not a dsd signal. It just looks like a pcm showing amplitude thats all...

Yes about those. Otherwise this would had been more appropriate since all that the BDP does is to send them across the digital outputs:

I have only had mine in service for about 6 months so I can't speak to long-term reliability, but it has been perfect in its operation so far and at this point I would purchase the brand again.
 
My model only has external USB, it does not have eSATA.  They have a nice product matrix to compare features: http://www.synology.com/enu/products/compare_spec.php
