Ideas for Hi-Rez Digital Player for 1TB USB drive?

I use a full Femto Auralic Aries feeding a Metrum Hex DAC. The Aries has a USB connection on it. I use WiFi to connect a NAS drive which works very well. Being WiFi it allows you to add streaming from a multitude of sources. It does need a suitable Apple product to control it - I use an iPad but I think you can use an iPhone, but you need to have the right version.

It handles many hirez file types. Virtually all my music is flac but I have a few higher res tracks as well.

You can add which interface you want. I am currently running MinimServer which is intuitive and easy to use.

Sound quality is better than my old Logitech Duet and various CD players I have used including Consonance Droplet 3.1 and Talk Thunder 6.

The Receiver was not the greatest sounding piece of kit.
Sonically it was on a par with the SB3.
The SQ stakes were upped considerably with the Touch, and the bar raised a lot higher if you powered it from a decent linear PSU.
