the best, cost-no-object, music streamer?

I am currently using McIntosh MCD500 as source. I love it so much that my CD collection is piling up. Now i find it more hassle to find CD, play it, and return it to cabinet blah blah blah.

I think one solution to this is to find a (very) good music streamer connected to a HDD or whatever.

Can any of you share what is the best, cost-no-object, music streamer? And why do you like them?

Am no techie, but seems ability to play 24/192, FLAC, apple app compatibility is a must.

Thanks for looking.

Definitely should look at the Linn DS streamers (Majik, Akurate or Klimax). Not cheap, but one of the best.

I can also recommend Aurender, as an excellent sounding, very easy to use, one box solution.

What does "apple app compatibility" mean?

The Slim Devices aka Logitech Transporter is the absolute best streaming media product out there. I use mine with my FLAC audio collection and it works brilliantly.

There is a controller app available for iPhone and Android that lets your phone or tablet act as a remote control, browsing album covers and controlling the music.
