Using an External Hard Drive as a Music Server

Hi there, I have just found the most awesome thing that totally makes sense and just makes you say DUH!

PS Audio just came out with a $10 Iphone app (I have no affiliation and im sure other companies make them) that allows you to control any networked device.

This would mean anyone using there computer for audio can back up there audio to an external hard drive (Free of all of the computer interference) and be able to put it right on your rack and hook it up to a USB DAC without having to either compromise in cabling or having to go wireless. Also you can put it on your power conditioner.

Please tell me if I am wrong. But It seems to me that if you go this route, You save alot VS. a dedicated server and dont have to deal with a servers interface and possibly being able to use Itunes.

I hope this is right please tell me if im wrong, but I cant see anything to the contary. Hope this works and benefits many

Thanks a million. Toby
