Help with the move to digital server


I have a lovely system (Krell, BAT Rex, Revel Ultima 2, Esoteric X01-D2, Purist Audio, Siltech), but I want to add an i-pod or a server into the mix so that I can play long shuffled selections of music for casual listening and entertaining at home. Is it for my wife? You bet it is.

Should I get the Wadia i170 and a couple of 160 Gig ipods (1 for jazz, 1 for Pop/Rock)? Or is there a better way? A server that would integrate into the system and play thru my Esoteric with its 3 DACs?

I am grateful for your help. I am open to any suggestions.

You do not have to get separate iPods for different music styles- you con sort by genre or make playlist of virtually any kind. If your set up has a digital input and your computer has a digital out your all set. Well, I guess you'll need a coax or a toslink too. Or you can stream using a myriad of products, apple airport to name one. Just download iTunes or media monkey or J-River or whatever you want for software and you'll be set. And amazed. Lots of info here on the PC Audio section of discussions.
