You can skip the computer. Look at a NAD Masters series vault or something like that which stores files and you can use your Vivaldi dac to play them. No actual computer to mess with to play music. You don't have to know anything about computers or playback software etc. NAD may not do it for for decor though. But their are others out there.
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.
