The first photo is of my current system configuration, QRD17 diffusers, with the Lenehan Audio ML2 stand mount speakers with springs between them and the stands. There's also springs on the sub, the linear power supply and under the amplifier atop the white granite slab. Speaker wires and interconnects are all wide copper foil.

Duelund cast VSF capacitors, (Duelund silver oil bypass caps) Shunting caps: Jenson Superior Z-cap (Duelund silver oil bypass caps) Duelund resistors, Ribbontek internal wiring, 4mm steel plate lining the top, baffle and side walls of enclousure. Cardas solder, on all point to point connections. Rear tuning bay for final measurements and calibration. Bybee bullets on inputs of drivers

You build all your own stuff huh? Those qrd's are just lovely and the streamer, I'm interested in that build too? I want to see how to connect the Jcat to the mobo? I figure it has to ?
The HD Plex 300W has four voltage outputs, I am using the 18VDC from it. The plugs supplied fit directly into the barrel connector on the mainboard. All the plugs are unmodified to fit directly into each of the connectors and there are a lot of selections/ mix and matches available.
I like the interface on your foobar player, is that a skin or plugin?
It's an 8W integrated commercial twin core Intel fanless mainboard. I had a custom copper heat sink machined for it, and I use 19VDC for the board, 5VDC for the two SSD (one for Win Server 2013 R2 and software, the bigger strictly for music files) and 5VDC for my J-Cat Femto USB card.
What really makes it work great, is the software. Phil's Audio Optimizer, JPlay Femto and Fidelizer Pro.
Was looking at members who have built their own music servers, since I will be starting my build soon. I see that you have the Streacom case. I have ordered a Streacom FC10 Alpha case. Your build looks impressive. What configuration for CPU/RAM/Mobo? That HDPlex is hard to come by.
