Best music server for the money

Look into the Vortex Box products on the Small Green Computer site. The Vortex Box Audiophile unit looks to be a winner. I'm looking to purchase one myself when the funds become available.

Good Luck,

Since Logitech has stopped developing the Slimserver/Logitech Media Server/Squeezeserver/Squeezebox line of media players, those that remain in the channel are screaming bargains. You'll need an NAS with enough processing power (see Vortexbox/Small Green Computer). But the Logitch Touch and the Logitech Transporter can do an outstanding job of serving hi-rez music for very little money these days.

If you're into DIY audio, check the Computer Audio website for their choices (when they're not gushing about Auralita's etc.). Some solid choices there with long-term viability -- although obsolescence (sp) is guaranteed with any digital source. It's a moving target.

Look at the Lumin. (www.luminmusic.com/‎)

Antipodes Audio. Looks like the best value for money at 3500.

Sony HAP Z1ES. Computer Audio without the computer.
