Check out one of the best servers made. The new " Zen 3" series of servers are being used by several major manf at audio shows. Using the Innuos line as a front end by major manf's is a true compliment. From $600 to 15K.

Love my Mk.3 (4 TB SSD version)... Pretty amazing upgrade from my Eric Hider tweaked out Mac Mini with external HD... Even comparing it "side by side" to a $10K CEC belt drive transport (same CD, same DAC), there was no comparison! Not a subtle improvement either! A major upgrade... I really haven't listened to vinyl anymore... It's like "reel to reel" playback without the tape hiss! I always thought upgrading my DAC was the only way to improve digital... not the case for me!
Most significant equipment upgrade for me in twenty years!
I guess it's the dedicated computer, with superb power supply & SSD storage, with fantastic digital error correction, that makes all the difference in the world... Redbook really shines!
My $0.02,
Pete
