Cloud storage from Baidu Netdisk can also be mounted, allowing remote libraries to behave as if they were local.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual USB ports for media and CD playback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eTwo rear USB 3.0 ports let you attach both a USB drive and a USB CD drive simultaneously. This keeps physical media fully usable in a modern streaming system, with fast file access and stable, noise-reduced reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimple file management\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe MA Remote App enables copying music from attached USB storage into internal SSD storage. No computer required — just direct file transfer into your library for long-term listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD playback and ripping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eConnect a USB CD drive to play discs natively or rip them to internal storage. Metadata and album art are fetched during import, and users can edit tags directly in the MA Remote App for clean, well-organized archiving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNVMe SSD storage with low-noise power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAn NVMe SSD slot on the bottom panel lets you expand internal storage. The SSD is powered by an isolated, ultra-low-noise supply that reduces electrical interference and keeps mechanical noise out of the listening space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShared storage across your network\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eWith SMB sharing enabled, any computer on your network can access the NT-1’s internal storage. The transport can also function as a small NAS, allowing other streamers on the same network to play its archived music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmart wake and trigger control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe NT-1 wakes automatically when streaming begins or local music is selected.
