No PC huh? That's the only thing thats going to get you all that in a single rackmount box.
Other wise it's A NAS & a Streamer as discrete items.
The NAS is a no brainer in rackmount.
And separate streamer/player (good luck with the rack mount on that).
OK you might balk. But I recommend the ReadyNAS rackmount for the storage.
And a modded xbox for the playback. With a wireless xbox controller, you'll fly around your music selection building party play lists as you go. Tunr on the Milkdrop visuals and your party goers will trip out to your DJ'ing mastery. Hide the xbox so people wont know what a lowly piece of hardware is absolutely kicking everything else to the curb in this market.
And yeah it'll do digital out via fiber to your 'audiophile' quality amp to turn back into analog.
And it'll do the ripping for you too. But another pc/laptop might be better for that. And you can rip to FLAC, keeping all that sonic goodness intact.
