Osamede, Check out using a Raspberry Pi and piCorePlayer (google both). I have two. One in my bedroom as a headless player (output via 1/8" jack to speaker) and a second in my living room that is both player (output via digital out to stereo, HiFiBerry Digi+ addon card, google HiFiBerry for that) and server, connected to my XyZel NAS where the files are. HiFiBerry sell complete systems, including case/power supply. They are very compact so no need to find room for a desktop tower, etc.
It is stable for months at a time (though there are times, like this very morning, where I have to delete LMS prefs/cache and rebuild the library after unrecoverable LMS DB errors that no one on this Forum can help with). There are a lot of people who have moved in this direction as their aging SqueezeBox hardware died (as I did when my SqueezeBox Classic stopped working).
