Streaming music - Roku

(I started this question on the "Receivers" forum, but as the question has evolved this seems like maybe a better place to post.)

I'm planning to move my CD collection into digital storage. What I'd like to do is rip all my CDs, put them into Dropbox, and then stream the music at the highest possible quality via my Roku box. (The current plan is to use dbpoweramp to rip everything in FLAC format.) The idea is to do this without involving my computer or an NAS.

It seems that DriveCast and Couchy Play are two possibilities for streaming files to Roku. (Maybe Roksbox is another?) Both websites have minimal to no information, though, and googling has gotten me nowhere. Does anyone know anything about these programs? Like, can they support FLAC files, what quality do they stream at, etc?

Drivecast's website seems to indicate that it's going to turn to an in-car thing, so maybe that's not a good option. Are there other alternatives? Any help would be much appreciated!
