Suggestions on Better Server Setup than Mac Mini


I'm using a Mac Mini as my server, with Audnirvana and external Ultra Fi Dac, which sounds great when it runs, problem is what with apple updates, software issues, connectivity glitches, the system is a pain to use. 

Suggestions on what would be easier to use, potentially sound better and wouldn't cost more than $2k to upgrade?

I'd stick with the mini as you may need to convert every track on there - dunno how many you have but I have in the 20k range

you could try to find a more reliable player - some are buggy

do you have DSD or is it all Redbook?

wouldn't he have to move all files to a Pi?

BTW, OP how many files are involved?
