Is it worth it to add a music server just for FLAC files?
A Rasberry PI 4 with a free program like Volumio would provide a nice looking  interface and  usb out for not much money.There are also hats that can change I2S output to a multitude of digital outputs.  
Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee?

Low budget vintage preamp or new
What's the purpose of a preamp?  Do you want remote volume control?  Would a passive preamp work?  It would allow you to switch sources and turn down the volume.  Are you going to listen to vinyl?  For that you would need a phone input.  If you ar...
