Instead, opt for a minimum i7 standard server type desktop that sits in a cupboard with JRiver on it, to VNC from an iPad phone or similar. Why a desktop? There’s plenty of space to reduce coupled noise and allows the use of JCAT net cards. With Apple iOS, well they make that difficult don’t they. You could try the HACKINTOSH route, Linux, or Windows, there you go, choice. If you run out of disk space, there’s plenty room to add heaps more using 3.5in drives. The Mac mini is a really noisy device, and can be used for anything other than audio. The only problem is cable distance from the computer, but since you use the Selekt in the future, that’s not going to be a problem. There are some QNAP NAS models which allow for installing PCIe extension cards and the JCAT NET Card FEMTO works plug & play in the QNAP NAS.
