Computer Audiophile Pocket Server -C.A.P.S. v2.0

I have a Bryston BDP-1 which I like a lot and can play without turning on any computer or connecting to the internet. Unfortunately it does not stream Pandora which I also like a lot. I will not be purchasing any Apple products so I would like to hear members' experience with Chris Connaker's Computer Audiophile Pocket Server -C.A.P.S. v2.0 as a quality sound streaming companion for the BDP-1. I am after two independent singular purpose machines that produce best possible sound, considering source limitations. Also interested in any other solutions similar to the C.A.P.S. Thank You

Thank You for the review link - it was helpful. I would very much like to hear impressions from people who actuallly have the CAPS or have auditioned it but may not have the creator's investment.

I just build one with a large SS drive and have been ripping disks for the last three weeks. Computer Audiophile is a great website.

This server uses JRiver - I am not sure if its sold with this software built in already..

At any rate, the question: how to move or copy files of current playlist from external HHD where music library resides to internal SSD from which, if I understood correctly, its the best to use music files for sound quality? Is there any command in JRiver? I saw once option to play from memory (RAM I presume) but it did not make much difference.
