My first attempt at integrating a HDD into my system, after running a cable from the PC, was based on using an OPPO. Cost me $1200, the interface stunk and I didn't think the DAC sounded very good.

Now I've got a Raspberry PI ($100 or so with a nice case) to which I attach a HDD and my DAC. The SW I use to select music is on my iPhone and on my personal computer. The GUI isn't perfect but supports various ways to look at the collection, has been reliable and is fun/easy to use. It also sounds better than both my CD players.

I do free lossless downloads, rip CDs and digitize vinyl LPs for my HDD.
