What do I need?

I know this is a dumb question, but I need some answers...
What else do I need to play my Flac files thru my Wyred 4 Sound preamp, using my Emotiva DAC and 2 Iomega's 2tb Home Media Network Cloud Edition Hard Drives (one for backup)? I was considering a Cary MS1 music server, but not sure right now if I need to spend that kind of money... Thanks for your help.

FYI, The Emotiva XDA 1 DAC is a very good dac. I had one for 6 months and loved it. When I replaced it with a Wyred DAC 1, I found very little improvement. Certainly not 800.00 worth of better sound.

I just went through the manual and figured that this DAC is capable of streaming FLAC or any other lossless files from PC or dedicated server.
Price A to price B 'logic' is only found in audiophile communities and certainly OK to neglect in normal and unsolicited world.

If the Logitec Squeezebox Touch is compatible with your server, it's a no-brainer at under $300. Check with your server's manufacturer to make sure.
