Network streamer with hard drive


Good morning. I am looking for a network streamer that can hold a large digital music library and can replace my current DAC. I currently have a small pc running through a low end DAC via USB. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Would like the device to display the song and album art if possible.

Does the Vault2i require Ethernet?  I have the Vault2, and use Ethernet, but I thought that the “I” series enhanced the WiFi.  Anyway, before I had Ethernet wired the house I had bad luck with power line adapters.  If the adapters have to cross on breaker, there is a 40 volt drop; 2 breakers 80, etc; a sudden drop can cause the adapters to stop working.  It also can’t be a good thing to be mixing the music and the power...

check out the Powerline Adapter article from the NYT circa 2017.
I can tell you that after 2 years of having Powerline Adapters die on me every few months, I am never going that way again
