Lampizator Music KOMPUTER or MusicVault or MemoryPlayer64???

Looking for good advice and pros/cons, listening experiences, etc...with any or all of the above computer-based audio ripping/server based platforms.  Important things for me are balanced outputs, clock input, ability to rip both RBCD (CD, XRCD, XRCD2, XRCD24) and SACD (native, not the RBCD layer) and if possible the 2-channel DVD-Audio disc content I have.  Need large in-box as well as network attached storage potential with some form of redundancy (think high-availability/fault-tolerance), use of RAID or some other approach (local cloud).  Thanks in advance for the help!

I have used a Music Vault for about 10 years.  They can address pretty much all of your needs.  Not sure if they can rip DVD-Audio (I should find out, I have a few).  They have RAID auto-duplication w up to 8 TB local storage.  They can handle DSD files files.  Two of the best features are the Logmein software that allows Neal to troubleshoot remotely, and the Solid State HD for the OS, which makes it boot fast and maximizes storage.  No idea of how it compares to the Lampizator but I love the sound.  I used to serve the files wirelessly to a Modwright Transporter but now I have it hard-wired to an Antelope Zodiac DAC.  It can also provide analog out on RCA or AES/EBU jacks. 

Give Neal a call; he's very approachable and responsive.
