Music server for a newbie


Hi

I'm considering adding a music server to my current digital+analog rig. I'm absolutely clueless with computers.I'm looking for a unit without dac as i have a dCS vivaldi dac.Budget is up to $6k.I'm not looking to build a computer but a looking for a finished plug and play product and esthetics is also a thing to consider (so no plain metal boxes).
I've heard both on Aurender s10 and Ripnas. Can anyone tell me whether he compared those units or any thoughts or recs on that issue ?
Thanks in advance to all repliers.

Check out the Antipodes music server. There is a great write up at digital audio review (John Darko). It won't pass your looks test but if he's to be believed, it's probably one of the best out there now for the money, which is about half your budget. It's virtually plug 'n play.

All the best,
