Hi*all. Looking for a small device to replace a sorta subpar setup I currently have for digital music playback in my stereo. It doesn't have to be Android by any means, but I figured that's the most likely candidate just due to variety.
Right now, I have a Mac Mini hooked up to the TV, and I use it to pass*local files and streaming playback to Airport Express, which feeds a passable Keces DAC. The sound quality is actually pretty good, but the setup is cumbersome, and the AE*drops connection a couple seconds at a time multiple times per song.
Without going into too much detail, the layout and arrangement*of our little house doesn't let us have the TV and*the stereo close enough to wire directly from the Mac to the DAC, so I'm looking to get a different device to wire directly to my DAC if it isn't very big at all.*If an iPod Touch or Android phone, or*even a small tablet had a digital output I could feed the DAC with, that would be*fine. Local files and streaming apps, and I'd be happy. I'd prefer not to spend iriver kind of money if possible. Anyone know of a*device that includes local storage (SD is fine), wi-fi, a display, and s/pdif without costing a fortune or taking up tons of space?
Thanks!
