I researched Music servers for a year on Audiogon and What's Best Forum before deciding on one. I ended up purchasing a Lucas Audio LDMS out of the UK. Lucas is a computer genius and his customer service is literally 24/7. My DAC is a Lampizator Pacific. The LMDS just elevated my system by a large margin.
Let me give you an example of his service. I sent him an email at 6;30pm Arizona time. I got an email back saying can we What's Ap. It had to be 3 am in the UK. He spent the next hour going through my system to make sure everything was working as it was supposed to. I felt bad and kept telling him it could wait until his morning. In the end, there was nothing wrong with his server; it was my router.
The LMDS provided me more clarity, soundstage, and detail that I never knew I was missing. If nothing else, send Lucas an email or look up his website. You will never get this kind of service from Innuous or Taiko. In fact, I would love to see a shootout between Taiko and LDMS. Music servers range from $5k to whatever you want to spend. I have 8TB of music on my server in addition to Tidal and Qobuz in a Roon ready application.
