I highly recommend the Logitech Squeezebox Touch. Nothing beats having access to your music libary instantly, in my case 350GB of music and counting. I'm able to stream flac files to the touch via my iphone anywhere in my house. This little device is pretty amazing, especially at its price. Its limitation is that it can only stream up to 24/96khz signal. Another option, is the PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC with the network bridge. This DAC is superior to the squeezebox, for the right reason $$$$, and it's capable of decoding 32/192khz signal. It basically takes your audio files and directly feeds to the DAC immediately. Though I don't own one yet, I got chance to auditioned it at 2011 CES in Vegas and well, let's just say that I'm looking to buy one now.
MUSIC SERVER - HOW DO YOU............
I have a all McIntosh system with Tannoy speakers and have decided to go digital. Recently purchased a MDA 1000 to replace my C46. Easily over a 1000 cd collection.
I need a way to store and play. What I want to do is store to a NAS or similar device, sit on the couch with a touch screen of some sort to scan and select my listening pleasure. Can be hard wired or streamed. I use FLAC. Don't care about internet look up of playlist and cover art.
I'm not a computer wiz nor do I want to be. Is there a system that does what I want, seems like from what I read most self built servers require that you spend more time configuring and dealing with online support then listening to music.
What do you suggest? Thanks in advance for your help.
