I have a external 4tb hard drive (with all my audio) plugged into an Asus laptop using Foobar then USB to a Myryad Dac to a Linn Kolektor/LK 85 set up. The problem is the laptop I can't position it close to the system so have extended power USB cables running along one wall and there is a lot of moving around room to interact with the components. Been looking at IFI Zen or Pro-ject stream box S2, am I right in my assumption that I can plug my HD USB into either the Zen or S2 then from there to my Dac, removing the need of the laptop and controlling using an android phone. If correct any advice on which is the better for my usage, I don't use any streaming services so it would just be for my hard dive audio (Flac,wav,Hi res Flac, & some DSD)
