Digital Storage/Server, Sans DAC- What's Available?


Looking for a digital storage device, that will enable me to experiment with High-Res downloads, feeding into my DAC-equipped pre-amp(good up to 24 bit/192kHz). This is what I have in mind, but- don’t want to spend a couple Grand, on an experiment: https://www.naimaudio.com/product/uniti-core Anyone know of a currently available/lower priced, digital server/storage device, WITHOUT it’s own DAC, besides the Naim Uniti Core Hard-Disk Server?

"Or did you mean an all in one server & renderer streamer
something you can drop files onto and it has interfaces suitable to connect to any DAC?" Yes- and as Mahler mentioned, a way to manage files, without a computer(etc).   Something like this:   https://www.naimaudio.com/product/uniti-core
Again: " Or did you mean ... and... has interfaces suitable to connect to any DAC?" Yes. The CD ripper is also something I wanted to try. I have a couple spare hard drives, far as storage, but- I’m not buying the Naim anyway. I don’t want my computer, or anything USB, in the mix, at all. I’m looking for an easy method, plug-n-play, way out(or- in, as the case may be). High-Res downloads can wait, I guess. Perhaps, until I find a used Naim(might be a minute). Thanks for the tips. Oh, yeah: What’s an OPPO MFD(I couldn't find any info)?
Now, that is interesting!   Would that it had AES/EBU output.  My only options would be either a 75 Ohm, RCA to BNC cable, or TOSLINK. Neither of which excite me.   Still, I'm saving that info.  Thanks!
