DAC's and external portable hard drives

Is there a DAC that can play music files stored on an external portable hard drive?

I have some music files that are stored on my desk top computer which I would like to play on my audio system. The computer is in a separate room in the house a long way from the media/audio room.

Thanks

Could you give me some names of DACs that do.

My computer is a newer MAC. I believe the wi-fi signal will reach the media room. I mostly listen to vinyl or CD's. My digital tracks are stored in iTunes and I then transfer them to a seagate HD so I can listen to them in my car and I have a few stray digital tracks that are not duplicated by the vinyl or the CD's which I would still like to occasionally listen to in the media room. I currently do not have a DAC. HD has a USB connector. I do not have a budget. I research until I find what I believe will do the best job for me and figure out a way to pay for it after that.

mahler123 I will look into suggestions.

Thanks everyone for your help.
