I am not a computer expert, but I do know that you can buy a PC, say an HP 23" touch screen machine with 1tb hard disc etc. for less than £700. Now, someone who does know his IT stuff, could strip out any Windows type stuff that is not required to optimise, this could be a dedicated music server hard wired via ethernet to a Devialet. I know that such a machine will not be the absolute last word in sound quality, but it should be very nearly as good, if not as good as most input methods. And what do you get? A nice music music server with 23" colour touch screen. A bit like a Meridian Sooloos, but you could run Jriver or whatever else you prefer, and vastly cheaper. Obvious? Genius? A daft idea? I'm not sure??
