I Have a Windows laptop running Win 7, I have a couple of external harddrives that I connect to my laptop via USB, the a USB Dac coming from laptop in my my amplifier. I have just installed Jriver onto my laptop and hoping to use my ipad as a controller. My music files are ripped CDs and downloads which inc flac, AIFF and Wav and a few Mp3. I am not really interested in streaming music wirelessly but I would like to have a one or two box solution and less USB connection going into my laptop or ellimenate the laptop completely if possible.
