Looking for a hardware music player that has the following:
USB input(s) on the back to plug in SSD using FLAC. Then connect to my DAC.A decent system for browsing the files on the SSD
HDMI out to hook up to computer monitor (HDMI 1.4) so I can choose files to play
(No other options required and not interested in servers/ethernet/raspberry pi, etc)Using a laptop for this purpose right now but would like to re-purpose it elsewhere. Also have a spare Oppo 103 but would like it to stay in the closet as a spare instead of using it.
