Music server for a newbie


Hi

I'm considering adding a music server to my current digital+analog rig. I'm absolutely clueless with computers.I'm looking for a unit without dac as i have a dCS vivaldi dac.Budget is up to $6k.I'm not looking to build a computer but a looking for a finished plug and play product and esthetics is also a thing to consider (so no plain metal boxes).
I've heard both on Aurender s10 and Ripnas. Can anyone tell me whether he compared those units or any thoughts or recs on that issue ?
Thanks in advance to all repliers.

But part of the appeal of integrating a computer with your audio system is to surf around and discover new music. If you're satisfied with your Famous Blue Raincoat and Jazz at the Pawnshop and stuck in that rut then maybe a dedicated server sans computer is the way to go but not for me.
