Best music server for the money

Looking to add a music server to my system. Current equipment is a Theta pre-amp and 5 channel amp Wilson Duettes and a JL Audio f113 sub. I love the ease and convenience of the Sooloos but not sure about the hardware or sound quality for the money. I really do not want to use a computer but would prefer to load rip and go.
Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks guys

Hi Rhanson739,

Can you share the name of that AV drive, please? Thanks!

Dmarkov,

Actually, I'm not sure. The drive went inside a standard OWC (Other World Computing) case. It was provided as part of an upgrade of my Mac Mini by Mojo Audio.

I'd recommend dropping a line to Benjamin at Mojo to ask him more about the drive. He's very helpful.

Sound Science Music Vault Diamond is much better than any of the above named servers. with raid 2 mirror image back up and ease of use with an ipad, it's unmatched

So reading these posts, it seems that in the sub 3k category the Sony HAP-Z1ES looks like a winner?

I can't afford to drop 4-7k on a server, but I'm really not liking the mac-mini setup I have now. Just too clunky. (and I have to give the mac-mini back - was a loaner!)

If you are coming to Newport Beach show this weekend, you can hear the latest Antipodes server in Hilton 1001. You will not be disappointed.
