Vjayh,
The diskstation control app is actually very straightforward to setup and to use. I was a newbie at this (see earlier threads here and WBF re: NAS setup). It's very Intuitive. They did a recent update to it which i like. Clean layout. No doubt CH's own controller will be stellar as they don't do anything half-assed. I stream a combo of rbcd and recently ventured into the hirez world (kruder &dorfmeister's classic k&d sessions was the first for me). The modular layout & design of CH gear has allowed upgrading over time. PM me if you'd like some extra help setting up the app. There are several ASharks with the C1 that have shared tips (allen, howie, etc).
