Fitz: I'm interested in the specifics of your music server.
What case and power supply are you using?
Do you use that machine for playback or for pure file serving?
If it handles playback:
- Is the onboard optical-out bit-perfect? How does it sound?
- How do you interface to the machine to control song choice?
I ask as I'd like to build a 24/7 dedicated digital media store / player with a touchscreen interface to a full-screen foobar2000 (or perhaps a custom application), ideally with no operating system visible.
An embedded system with built in hardware FLAC decoding would be nice, but that's probably far more of a challenge.
