What is the best hard drive based player?


Looking for a hard drive based player to feed into my system....preferrably one that has lots of memory, good sound quality, good user interace but does not require a separate screen. Any suggestions?

The McIntosh server compresses the data, (FLAC lossless), the Yamaha does not. The Mac really does need not only a display, but an internet hook-up also for best use. It downloads cover art and text.
I own the Yammy and it too, for ease of use, needs a monitor, but you don't "really" need one. I simply purchased a cheap portable dvd player with a composit video in so as to view the self labeled discs.
The Yammy is $800.00, the Mac is over $3k I think. You decide!
The HD capacity on the Yamaha is 200gb.

As for the price of the Mac is was mentioning? I was speaking of the MS 300, (300gb), and did have the price stated incorrectly. It has a retail price of $5100.00.
