It would be great if this server used one of those new Compute Cards from Intel.
They have a 6W Core M model.

Recent updates:
Matrix has decided to go all the way and start with a flagship model! It will be based on the prototype design that everyone loved with a built in DAC.
Some preliminary features...
The built in ESS Sabre ES9038Pro DAC module will use a FPGA to support PCM 768 and DSD 1024 playback.
There will be 2 x user accessable 2.5" storage drive bays for SSD or hard drives (in addition to the board mounted M.2).
The CPU processor hasn't been decided yet. More testing is required.
Please continue to give us some suggestions!
Thank you, Arthur
@ArthurPower do you have any further news that you can share on the availability of the X-Server?
I was considering buying the X-Sabre Pro until I saw this thread, obtaining Matrix Audio in the UK isn't particularly easy but the combination of music server and DAC is very appealing to me, locating these two vital components in the same hardware and combining with great software could prove to be a winning formula.
Hi Arthur, so there will be no X server only (without DAC), right? What a pity and I think many share this feeling.
Is the x-server ever going to come out ? It has been 2 yrs!
