To fix or not to fix

Latest thought.
As I already have a Logitech Squeezebox Duet, I think I will just get an external drive, rip my discs to it and then use that for a server going into my DAC.
Not an eloquent solution, but an inexpensive way to try out the server route.
Of course as a one stop mechanism for $500, it is hard to pass up the vault.
Any thoughts?

Cr,

That approach is very similar to what I do, except I have SB Touch, not Duet, but with external dac, there is probably little difference between the two in sound quality. Wireless network connection between SB and Logitech media server software running on the server host computer is an ideal setup as long as reasonably strong wifi connections exist to provide enough real time streaming bandwidth and avoid dropouts, seldom a problem with SB system set ups if done right in my experience. The DAC used will determine most of how the source sounds, and any good quality modern dac should work quite well. Good luck.

Thanks.
