The whole idea of a music server has intrigued me for quite awhile. I have experimented with an old Yamaha CD recorder with an on-board hard drive, a Windows computer and a Mac mini. While having easy access to a lot of music has always been the thing that brings me back to the idea, the interface has always been the issue for me. While I am very competent with Windows OS, OSX, and IOS, I just don't like using a computer or phone as play engine. I much prefer a simpler interface with a hand held remote. Now I have an Oppo 103D that I am experimenting with. While I like the simpler interface, now the idea of having to spend a lot of time ripping CDs makes me wonder if it is all really worth it. And we all know that getting up off our butts and changing the CD or LP is a good thing.... ;-) So what has been your experiences with storing music on a hard drive and playing it back? Did you stay with it? Thanks, Bill |

I love my Sony HAP Z1 and prefer it to the Sony 5400/VSE. |
