Fanless CPU heatsinks are good if you have a relatively low powered processor:https://www.fullysilentpcs.com/product-category/cpu-coolers/?v=7516fd43adaaThese are actually HUGE heatsinks.  However, they are not good enough if you're running a 12-c...

I have not used Euphony Stylus or any of the Linux implementations.  Sorry.  I'm running Windows 10 PC because it's used as a multi-purpose computer, gaming computer and sound system.  I'm running an AMD 5900x based system with a Pink Faun S/PDIF ... 
Best linear PSU under $1000?
The Farad Super 3 is absolutely excellent! Burning in really resolved any problems with the initial sound. I also found that the fuse in this power supply is really important as well (I do not recommend Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme). The AudioMagic Suprem...

@rixthetrick - here's a really long thread talking about Euphony and AudioLinux:https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/55873-shootout-at-the-linux-corral-audiolinux-vs-euphony/One quote that stood out to me:" A Euphony Stylus license may seem ex... 
can any stereo receiver be turned to mono?
millercarbon - please do NOT give engineering advice that looks serious.   I understand that you might think this is a joke, but somebody may take your advice and potentially fry their receiver/amp.  You never want to connect two outputs of anythi... 
Outlaw 7000x 7 Channel amp
I know you're frustrated. Things happen, but be patient on this.  This isn't the worst support we have seen from a vendor/manufacturer.   
FI-28 (R) IEC Connector Bad Buy?
In my opinion, rhodium plated is the end game.  However, I have found that it can be the great revealer - including revealing flaws in your electronics.  It can make sterile or bright sounding equipment sound even worse.  In this case, the Furutec...

@fuzztone - dude relax on the arrogance.  Melm has been an excellent resource and engineer.@melm - your descriptions started getting me somewhat excited until you got to the silver-plated windings and solid-silver hookup wire, lol.  I'm sure this ...

I am hoping that there is going to be released an operating system written specifically for a music server PC that offers a suite of tools to make it as good as possible. I am still waiting, it may exist already and I have to discover it. Yes... 
Outlaw 7000x 7 Channel amp
sorry man, that sucks! 
Outlaw 7000x 7 Channel amp
@ozzy - when you first use the new amp, make sure your Oppo volume is turned down to something like 30% before you power on the amp.  You definitely do not want full volume output, lol. 
Outlaw 7000x 7 Channel amp
The Outlaw amplifiers are all Class AB.  I'm wondering if you are getting confused with Rotel, which did have a series of Class D amps a while ago. 
Outlaw 7000x 7 Channel amp
Outlaw is very good stuff for the money.  This is a mid-level copy of the ATI amplifier.  It's great if you cannot afford the top-level ATI models.  The Monoprice Monolith is the low-level copy of ATI - bargain basement, but still good.   
2.1 system needs 3 HDMI inputs??
The only thing made that is similar to what you are looking for was the Classe Sigma 2200i integrated amp.  It has 4 HDMI 4K inputs (only one supports HDCP).  However, the audio over HDMI only supports 2-channel PCM, so you will need to configure ... 
Best Digital Interface
@phusis - you should try a Pink Faun AES/EBU card (as long as you're not running Linux on Intel cpu).  You can even get it with upgraded OCXO clocks.I know the Marian Seraph is likely a very good card, but it's geared towards pro audio where you n...
