Free. Use LibreElec which is a special Linux distribution with Kodi media player s/w included. You can download.
I will start a thread to go through everything to install and setup.

ok gents, thank you, now can I purchase the one in the link you posted that has the power cord because I definitely want/need a power cord as it sounds like it is proprietary to this unit, plus for some odd reason it is $10 cheaper with a cord??
I now understand why you want to convert to 5.1 flac not hard just time, got it no problem.
the SSD and the 2x 4g ram just plug in easy, got it.
and an internal hard drive is unnecessary, got it.

One more thing on conversion. The slowest part is ripping from disc, limited by the optical reader. Since you already have your discs in ISO file format the conversion to FLAC (or DSF) will be much faster.
OK, thanks.Now days they're all pretty good but I'd get a Blu-ray drive. They will read DVD-V, DVD-A and CDs too of course.
If you have SACDs your need an Oppo 103 (or limited other BD players)
I used a Nimbie USB Plus NB21-BR (Blu-ray). Speeds up the task substantially.I'm preparing to rip my disc collection. Any recommendations for an external optical reader? Thanks.
