What am I doing wrong?

I have an Innuos Pulsar Streamer and Accuphase DC-1000 DAC and as incredible these components are, they are useless when the internet is down since my only source for music is streaming. After extensive research I've been contemplating creating a curated library of  local files to get me by when the internet is down. Basically purchase the hi-res file from Qobuz, ECM etc from my Samsung Gallaxy Ultra,  then transfer the file to a WD Red SN700 2TB that's inserted into a Sabrent EC-SNVE, and then connect the device via USB into my Innuos Pulsar.  The Sense App for my streamer then detects my local files and so basically I'll then have music.

I am looking for a device other than a PC, that I can plug SD or MicroSD into, that I can also plug USB SSD into, that will catalogue the albums contained on those devices and then transmit them via UHD Bluetooth, LAN or USB to a speaker nest for example a JBL Authentics 500 that I own.

I humbly suggest WiiM Ultra. In my modest system, I use the Ultra as basic transport and streaming connected to my DACs via SPDIF or USB. USB SSD, SD, or MicroSD via USB hub. The Ultra is also connected to LAN. Finally Bluetooth data transfer is also available. As for catalogue, all my music are under subdirectories in my hard drive.

Perhaps, you should also look into Eversolo T8. I choose WiiM because I’m cheap.

What about a NAS?   I’ve been thinking about getting one after this video.   https://youtu.be/YTs6BLDGUmM?is=rZTHYTzou_J98YkD

Hi...

Thank you to you all, I have found the Bluesound Node or the Wiim to be the answer,  because of its Bluetooth & Database organiser, the Node is probably the item I will choose. You guys are the best without your help I would have got nowhere!!!

Hi,
Please forgive me if I have not understood your requirement(s) properly. By any chance, are you in need of a powered USB hub like this one?

There are tonnes of options available on almost all e-commerce sites. These hubs work with computers just fine (I have 4 nVME SSDs connected to that hub) but I am not sure if the same applies to smartphones as well. In case you decide to go for a USB hub, please go for a powered one. Otherwise, if any drive needs to draw more power, that drive may get disconnected.
Thanks, Mark
