Building a Music Server that will play all formats

I'm a mac person but want to build a stand alone music server for my hifi that will play all my MP3 and loss less files BUT most importantly will play flac files all in one simple player. I was thinking a Dell Zino connected to a TBD DAC. Any thoughts on this plan? Thoughts on player? Media Monkey or Songbird?

System: Vandersteen 5A, Rogue 180 monoblocks, Rogue Pre, VPI Classic.

Thanks!

I was under the impression that any conversion basically defeats the purpose of the hi rez file... and I'd rather not spend the time converting. I literally want to load up every digital file I own regardless of type and have it accessible by a a media player. I will look into these players though, Thanks.

Re the Oppo. How would you organize the music Itunes style... and how is the DAC?
