I have my large CD collection ripped to flac and plenty of other music as aac/m4a/mp4 files.
Currently I can play all these files on my cheap Agptek mp3 player connected to earphones. I want to play them through my hifi. Currently the only way I can do this is to copy files to a pendrive and plug it in to my Marrantz CD player.
What I really want is a simple hard disk device which will connect to my amplifier with old fashioned RCA cables and has a good interface for finding and selecting files. Anything that I have found by googling seems to be prohibitively expensive. I suppose I want something along the lines of a Brennan B2 but then I don't need the CD ripping facility and I don't think the B2 has the right connecters. I don't want to stream, I don't want wifi I simply want to play music in the old way but from a hard drive.
Is there any reasonable solution out there?
