HDX ripped WAV files can be played on other streamers using MinimServer however metadata is limited to Artist/Album. If you need anything more detailed then best to rip to FLAC and transpose to WAV on playback.
I use an HDX in a second system and it sounds excellent, particularly with an XPS PS. A Naim service including a replacement mech is c£400 which is not too expensive especially as you can now pick up a used HDX for c£1000.
