This could really fall under several forums... as there are so many different types of servers and approaches to maintain your library of music and movies, in addition to streaming.
I purchased my Lenovo laptop and loaded my music on it, but now I'm second guessing that decision and thinking I'd be better off loading it on a server so that every computer/phone in the house could have access to it.
I love my laptop and will continue to use it in my listening room, but I want to add a server as well. I'm not currently downloading and storing movies... and not sure I'll go that route with movies, but my music library will continue to grow.
It would need to be Roon ready.
The Roon Nucleus is too proprietary and cost more than I want to spend. I'm heavily considering the Small Green Computer SonicTransporter i5 unit, but the verdict is still out.
I will continue to use my M17 processor as the player, so I really don't need anything with a DAC, as it would be wasted. I don't know of a way to bypass the M17 DACs and still take advantage of Dirac Live and use my subs along with my two-channel listening, which is a must of course. I could probably build something, but truthfully I'm getting lazy and would rather just have something ready to roll and already Roon ready.
Curious as to what others are using and/or what I might need to consider.
