| Audio PC Thank You @danager Your input played an important role in my build. It was the power supply. I am glad I did not go with the AC-DC converter inside the box. It is done using a Delll brick outside the box. I forgot to mention that and take a pict... | |
| Audio PC My NEW server build is below: Streacom FC10 Alpha fanless audio server | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? @gladmo Good to know that the Psvane ART tubes worked for you. Hope you enjoy them for a long time. I have no experience with tubes and hence in no position to comment. | |
| Audio PC I do have 1 picture posted on my system. I will soon post the details in a new system page. Will try to do that ASAP. | |
| Audio PC @danager , @lalitk , I have successfully built the Audio Server to replace my aging laptop. I replaced the laptop with the server this past weekend. I have no idea how much of a profound effect a server has on the audio system. I used to think th... | |
| Chord DAVE DAC Thank you all so much :) For the comments or confusion? 😁 | |
| Chord DAVE DAC People who don't trust their own senses rely on ASR. We have been gifted some senses (listening vs hearing) that machines don't have. Use them or loose them - your choice. DAVE or Mola Mola would be amazing in a properly configured system. | |
| Cleveland, OH Yes, Thanks for organizing the meet William. Unfortunately it is always too less a time when you discuss audio. Anyway for me, the goal is to build my music server in the next week or 2. 90% of the parts arrived yesterday with 2 more pieces expec... | |
| Cleveland, OH See you guys tomorrow AM at the Nervous Dog coffee shop. I will be wearing a music themed t-shirt 😊 | |
| Audio PC Was looking into linear power supplies, but came across this: AUDIO MYTH - "SWITCHING POWER SUPPLIES ARE NOISY" Any thoughts, based on experiences? | |
| Audio PC Thanks @lalitk , But tonight I got a message that the compact power supply I ordered is cancelled because it became "out of stock". I was initially disappointed a bit. But then I thought - things happen for good. So now I will look to use a Linea... | |
| Audio PC @lalitk , Thanks,. I do have some USB PCIe cards in mind and JCAT is one of them. But that will happen later. Current focus is to build a desktop because the laptop is getting old and I cannot do DSD 512 in the Foobar because of processing capabi... | |
| Audio PC @danager , You are absolutely right. It is indeed a switching power supply. My goal for the current build is to "build my first desktop". I have never done this before. But after 2 days of searching the internet, I am almost ready once the parts ... | |
| Audio PC @danager , I have started looking for components to build a player/streamer myself. I will be using a Intel i7-12700 CPU in a Streamcom FC10 fanless case. I have already purchased the hard-to-find ST-ZF240 passive power supply to be used within t... | |
| Cleveland, OH Alright then, lets meet next Saturday William. And I agree with the time. Makes sense. |
