Anyway, I'll have a look to the solution you've suggested, as well to others. Since needs change during the time, I don't rule out that I could end up changing, rather than adding, some component of my system.
That's also why I didn't get this or the AK100II (although this one the thing is the dock makes just keeps it upright, but it's still a USB DAC with the cables coming out the top instead of a docked server with the cables coming out the back), so I just figured in the long run when I have the cash I might actually just get a music server with an internal HDD to avoid possible issues setting up the access to the HDD server (noise on the mechanical drive can be minimized with a quality server drive, like the WD Red, plus the case is thick) but still has WiFi so I can use a smartphone as a remote instead of the tiny screen. I don't want tospend that much on the portables anyway, but then again if I could get a portable that's really nice with IEMs like the AK but once docked works more like the HiFiMan, well, I might just get that.
