If I buy a Naim HDX with a failed drive can I just put a new drive in and install Win 7 or 10 with ripping software? Obviously it won’t work with Naim app but could be used as a fancy CD ripper to NAS.
Seems to run Windows XP Embedded along with some proprietary hardware. Drivers alone might be an issue never mind XPE.

Note the reference to a custom PCI audio driver.
