As Steve Nugent mentioned the 2009 MacMini would be a great start. His website has a lot of information on how to easily configure one for very good sound. I went this route with an Audiophilleo USB converter and my existing DAC. if you want to use iTunes as the interface Audirvana is a good music playback software choice. If you want to bypass iTunes I recommend Jriver. You could probably do all of this for under $1000.
"tutorial" on computer music servers
I have a very small disc collection at present, (less than 40).
I'm noticing that especially older rock and some jazz music I'm interested in buying, is no longer available as new (CD)s, in stores.
That the CD format in general, is on it's way out (?).
Forcing consumers to download music off the internet (?).
Therefore, someone in my situation, shouldn't buy a high quality CD transport, but rather buy a computer and subscribe to one or more of these online music servers (?).
