Using a PS Audio Perfectwave Dac as a music server

If you're just using a Perfectwave Dac as a music server, how can you see what's on the hard drive? It doesn't look as though the screen on the Dac is configured to scroll through folders of songs or albums.

You would need to buy a data storage unit and a controller to have a server system. A laptop computer with the appropriate software program plugged into the PWD could serve both functions. A Music Vault (do a search they're sold on Audiogon) with an iphone or ipad would work if you have a home wireless network. These aren't the only possibilities. I don't have a server system and I'm not very knowledgeable about them so there are lots of other options out there. Peruse the PC Audio forum for more information.

When I check in over at the PS Audio forums there seem to be a lot of people having trouble getting their systems to work. I've been wanting to get a server system going but am not computer savvy so I've been waiting for a simple solution.
