It's a less is better approach.

Hey Abe better than the Pono for me would be if I could use an AppleTV or AppleTalk via a remote iPhone app to access my music files on a hard drive. I would need at least CD quality digital out from the AppleTV/Talk to the DAC of my choice. Of course if the Pono can be controlled via a remote app then it might be a better choice than the Apple - if it is in fact capable of remote control, high resolution playback and doesn't interfere with the systems performance when placed on the rack (which might remain unknown until I could compare two players in the system).

I already have a wired computer interface on one system and an iPod/DAC interface on the other. What I want is a high capacity SS drive connected to a DAP controlled by a cell phone app connected to a DAC.

I might go for a server, or wired PC interface, as 1 input to a system. But I want my music files to be directly accessible to the stereo without a computer/laptop/mini. I don't want to share/waste a PC for this dedicated application and believe a small less costly dedicated designed DAP has a much better chance of consistently superior and cost effective performance.
