Music server
You need to install the OS first - Linux or Windows 7. Then you can download the Jriver from their website. I believe it is free for 30 days. I problem I see with this solution is that you will need to hookup a monitor (at least from time to ti... 
Music server

I have the S5s in the room almost same size as yours. They sound incredible - much better than the Sashas they replaced. More natural and fluentm with much more articulate bass. S3s are very similar in design - same tweeter and midrange, but with ... 
How to get the most out of a Metrum Octave Mk II?
You will hear much more of a difference by going directly to the HEX vs investing in a superior USB/SPDIF converter. I tried both the OR5 on the Octave 1 and HEX. HEX is a no brainer.Those $2000 USB/SPDIF converters are for $5000+ DACs.
