Upgrade to a better server. Ideas?

I have a lumin x1 and would like to upgrade my server, which is now a nucleus.

Is there anything out there that just satisfies the server needs without going into the streamer and DAC stuff?

Also consider watching a few of Andrew's video or better yet email / call him about cabling and the use of fiber. The X1 is a good piece of equipment. I would see how he suggests leveraging its capabilities. I'm not associated with SGC just very happy with their customer support and equipment.

I am only focusing on the server. If the server has the streamer it may impact Signal delivery and I already have a streamer as part of the lumin x1 which seems fine
