At this time I'm using a Roku soundbridge opticalled into my DAC. This

thought it would be nice to have a HDD in the music room and leave the
Computer etc switched off.
The Philips handset looks OK but on it's own it's about the same price
as the Roku which comes handsetted already.
Thanks to all you good people for the advice and maybe someone will make
an external HDD with display and programme to make my wishes come true.
Many thanks.

It's tricky - I forgot to mention the Brennan unit which looks neat, but
again, too expensive for what it is IMO (although it does amplify), and
accessing a track would be a pain. You could get a Mac Mini/iTouch for
not much more, or a mini PC for a lot less.
