Best music server for the money

Looking to add a music server to my system. Current equipment is a Theta pre-amp and 5 channel amp Wilson Duettes and a JL Audio f113 sub. I love the ease and convenience of the Sooloos but not sure about the hardware or sound quality for the money. I really do not want to use a computer but would prefer to load rip and go.
Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks guys

I find the noise from a spinning HDD (even an external one) is quite noticeable.

A NAS allows you to put the discs in another room.

I second the Antipodes server. I have used it as shows and is the best I have heard. Even FLAC and wav sound identical. Not on a PC or Mac.

I have an AV drive feeding my Mac (Mojo) Mini. It's completely quiet, much quieter than a standard HDD external.

Hi Rhanson739,

Can you share the name of that AV drive, please? Thanks!

Dmarkov,

Actually, I'm not sure. The drive went inside a standard OWC (Other World Computing) case. It was provided as part of an upgrade of my Mac Mini by Mojo Audio.

I'd recommend dropping a line to Benjamin at Mojo to ask him more about the drive. He's very helpful.
