Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server?

Since I'm a visual person, I've tried to distill what I've learned about music servers and how I might create one. Any suggestions or comments you have would be appreciated.

Here is the link to the website with the picture:

My goal is to produce the best sounding Music Server regardless of price.

S789f: i believe you're experiencing a 'clocking' issue. i had this same problem when i 1st hooked up my Mac mini to my Emm Labs DCC2. problem was gone once i activated Emm Lab's master clock function. unfortunately, i'm not familiar with the Bel Canto DAC3 & therefore not able to offer you more advice.

hi Newly, there are 2 options... either get connect them via TOSlink cable (in which case, you need to make sure your DAC has a TOSlink input). you could also get a USB > AES/EBU or SPDIF converter (there are a number of these converters aval.).

several newer DACs hv USB inputs. you can connect these directly using a USB cable.
