Don't waste time

buying monitors, keyboards, mice, software, and hours and hours of stress and back and forth with "experts," - who have played around with hacks and tweaks trying to turn a non-audio device into an audio one, through a path of arguing about minutiae.

There is nothing that you can do with a computer alone that will allow you to build hi-rez digital files from your LPs. And, - based on your number 1 goal of listening to Internet Radio, (which is low quality): the investment that it will take to do hi-rez will be much higher.

Go get a Bryston BDP-2, or a Sim Audio Mind, or even a used Squeezebox Touch, - spend your time with your music, - burn your CDs and set up your music for the future. Then once you get set up with a system - you can move up or on.

For example, if you think that you might want to have music in different rooms, - then a NAS (hard drive/network attached storage), attached to your router will/can be accessed by a number of devices. So, - later, - you have the option of moving to a computer, or a different/better streamer, or something else...

There are some folks here who are using 3 Squeezeboxes, some folks have mixed environments, with a Squeezebox and a couple of computers. Some have 2 different streamers and a computer.

Start small, start cheap, - invest in music first.
