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.

S789f, have you checked if iTunes - which I suppose you use - is set up to download album pictures automatically? I had occasionally drop outs, but when I unchecked this option in the preferences, they disappeared.

S789f, I guess there might be a problem with the Bel Canto then - do you know anyone in the area with other USB DACs that you could try out. Would a Benchmark have similar problems?
