Is there a way to play music stored on an external HD and not go thru a PC? Currently I'm using a NAD DAC and JRiver Media Center but the stutter (pretty sure thats the term) using Windows 10 makes it nearly unusable. Previously I was using Windows XP with the same setup and it was flawless. Moved everything to a new Windows 10 machine and have the stutter issue. This problem does not happen using Spotify, only with FLAC files from CD quality up to high res. I have 1T of music so would like to stick with the hard drive. Is there some sort of music player that the external hard drive can connect to and then connect to the DAC and then the integrated amp? Similar to a SONY HAP but without the storage?
