I want to dump my Oppo; but...

I'm getting an Ayre C-5xeMP and I'd like it to replace My Oppo BDP-105, assuming it performs better once I get to comparing. The problem is I've built up a sizable library on USB drives and the Ayre has no digital inputs. An outboard DAC would do for the music; but how would I navigate through the 100+ folders and their files? I don't have or want a smart phone and keeping a laptop on my knees would be a real buzzkill. Right now I use the 105 just for stereo audio and it's plugged into an old LCD monitor for navigation and set-up.

Ahhh, so the real problem here is that you need a music server that attaches to your TV.

OK, so let’s separate the server from the DAC.

Any PC or Mac will work.

Then use a USB cable to connect to a USB capable DAC.

Use a wireless keyboard specially designed for HT use, have trackpad built in. Logitech makes a number of these.
