Hi everyone, i have just bought a custom build mini PC foe music playback with the following spec:
DVD-Rom, 500GB stat Hard drive, 2GB ddr2 Ram 6xUSB, 2 front 4 rear, micro sd card reader, Window 7 ultimate, anti-virus & photoshopalso has office 2010 but 30 days trial only
I need help to choose which would be the best way to get the music stored on it to my Hi Fi.
Would i be best to
(A) Get a Squeezebox Touch and run squeezebox server from the mini PC? (quiet a few people have advised that this way is better than a NAS).
(B) Buy a external DAC and play the music back with a media play from the PC like iTunes of Winamp?
I am not interested in multi room as i only need the music in one room, all i ask is that it can playback Lossless files and is reliable.
Thanks, look forward to your opinions and recommendations.
