Media Server

Posted by layman on July 11, 2012 at 08:40:13:
I am considering setting up a media server in my hifi system (to back up my collection of CDs). I do not want a laptop in my system but would rather like to set up a hard-drive type media server. I have seen some for a good price on-line and I plan to stay away from expensive name (naim) brand servers. As far as I can tell, the usb output of the server would connect to a DAC feeding my amplifier.

I am not really tech savvy and am a complete newby at this. Am I going about this (endeavor) the right way?
