Thinking of a CD player but decided to upgrade this instead. CD player can wait next year.
Upgraded my Digital Source, Storage and Network
Moved to Gigabit Network and upgraded the source and storage
Added:
Seagate 4 Bay NAS
Cheapo TPLInk Gigabit 5 port Switch(Does the job well)
Upgraded from Desktop to Dell Latitude E6440 i7
Copy all my music collection to the NAS that currently has One 2TB HDD and One 500gig HDD. USB will just be a backup for now
Everything is blazing fast now. Big improvement, even with the use of ipad as a remote. Instantly plays as you tap the ipad. Even browsing the content from my IPAD is really fast including rendering of cover art.
Copying of files to NAS is really fast as well..
