Thanks Jörg, that is ample information. It is not an immediate project but I read an interesting article on the Olive Opus 4 hard disk player, ripper, server (easy enough for the computer dummy I am) that made me consider whether I should not re-think the second system in that direction. In the Opus 4 the weak point appears to be the DAC and so I am gathering information here and there.
I have to say, though, you made me extremely curious about your new project, so I'll wait until you break the news on that one to us before I do anything at all. Look forward to it.
Best regards
Karel
