Won't work, you are missing a critical part

.

Me too, one last try. What you are describing below is a music server that is missing the brains it needs to operate. A DAC can't read data from a storage medium, you have to put a computer between the two so they can talk.


"substitute a "massive" storage medium for the spinning disc

connect to a DAC via a single cable (multi-line internally)"




Q.. How does the data get from storage medium to DAC?

A.. A computer has to read the data from the massive storage medium and transfer it to the DAC.


The computer can be dedicated to the task and contained in the same box but that is just what any other music server being built today does. It has to run some version of software even if you program in machine language. I don't see why you think getting away from the well known ones would be better.


It isn't a matter of starting somewhere, music servers abound.

Good luck with it.
