How do I use dedicated storage and iTunes?

Ok, I'm missing something here. I am using iTunes w/AIFF files for my digital audio. I'm using a Mac mini (my regular computer) and streaming the files through Airport Express to an upsmplaing DAC (Cambridge Audio DacMagic) to my stereo. The problem is: I'm running out of space on the computer. How do I get my iTunes onto a dedicated external hard drive for media storage and then streamed to my system?
I do have a 1 TB backup drive for my computer, but am not sure how to get the iTunes off my mini and onto it or another dedicated drive.

Thanks. I guess the issue also is what is the best what to store it: NAS, separate hard drive, etc.?

Thanks to all who responded. There seems to be a consensus here and I just ordered a Synology 2 TB NAS and will then move the files to it. To answer Rhanson739's question about AP Express being limited to 16/44.1, yes, that exactly is why I'm using a Cambridge Audio DacMagic up sampling DAC. I also recently purchased a Pangea Power supply for it and that made an immediate positive difference in performance.
