Aurender N100 seems to be a better music server. I will look into it now.
Melco N1A Music Server
I am considering getting a Melco N1A music server as it has good reviews, and I read that a music server will sound better than using a laptop or a mac. But then I realize the music server is basically a computer with hard drive(s) inside. As all hard drives do have a lifespan, what happens if the drive fails in the future? Will I be able to replace the hard drive myself or will I have to ship the whole unit to a service enter for the replacement? Is this a concern for all hard drive based music servers? Thanks for your input on either the Melco N1A or on music servers in general.
