Recommendations for digital music servers?


Hello everyone, I just purchased a Hegel H390, pick it up tomorrow. I'm looking for the best way to listen to my digital library. I currently use a Mac Mini with an external SSD. The Mac has USB and Toslink outs. I've read that USB isn't the best connector to use with the 390. The H390 streams so I don't think I need a streamer, probably just a music server. If possible, I'd like to keep it under $2,000. Any recommendations?

Sumiko S-10 subs

If you want to use the UPnP streaming function of the Hegel H390, then you need a UPnP server. Install MinimServer (v0.8 is free, v2 has free and paid options) on your Mac Mini, and connect both the Mac Mini and your H390 to your local network.
Thanks nekoaudio for the feedback, don't know about UPnP but I will research. I've mostly listened to analog so much to learn...
