Re: Hardware to room play the collection

(a) You could convert your library to Apple Lossless (ALAC) from FLAC 
and then it would be iTunes compatible, so you could put it in your iPhone.

(b) You could get a Cocktail Audio X12 and use that to play your FLAC 
library on an external drive (USB connection). It can use a network, or 
headphones, or digital out, or connect directly to speakers as it has an 
amplifier built in. About $600.
