RE: Premium grade music server
Posted by AbeCollins on July 11, 2017 at 12:56:39:
Many music servers are basically just a PC (or a PC motherboard) in a nice chassis with operating system and software stripped down to limit it's capabilities and presumably make it easier for non-computer types to operate.
That being said, a decent $500 - $1500 PC or Mac will do exactly what you are asking for but you can spend thousands on a dedicated music server if you like.
The Aurender W20 is about $17,000 but they make more affordable models. I did confirm and post photos on the Asylum that the W20 is built upon a commodity mini-ITX PC motherboard. It's disk drives were housed in impressive looking massive chunks of machined aluminum so that must be worth something.
