I'm fightingmywayoutofawetecho.
Streaming through Rega Isis.
Can anyone advise on best way to stream through my Rega Isis cdp?.
Initially i was going to use a mac mini and a Nas box using a ipad to select files but ive now had a suggestion of a Zotac Zbox D525.
This will connect to the Regas dac via usb.
Any help advise appreciated.

Initially I would just use the computer you are using right now, just get hold of a decent USB to s/pdif converter.

I know enough to know that you don't need a huge PC for audio use these days.. I believe Naim use/used an Atom based mobo in their HDX streamer and thgese run pretty quiet I understand.
Hopefully, someone can come along and put me straight

I would get a Joggler (cheap Squeezebox Touch) and connect via USB to the Isis , install LMS on your upstairs PC, use your smart phone or Ipad or laptop or any other Tablet to remote control Squeezeplay. This is good up to 192k . £50 - Job done!
PM or call me if you want more info.
