A quick reply as I am not home...
You might want to consider buying the the newer Alix 2d2. I am currently using this as my "stable" server and have relegated the older 3c2 for experimental testing.
The Alix 2d2 is nicer because it keeps all the connectors (USB, LAN) at the back of the unit, and the LED's up front. The 3c2 has the USB ports up front & the LED's in the back. It could make for routing the USB cable to the DAC more difficult or require a longer USB cable.
With the 2d2's simple black aluminum case I have the status LED's up front and viewable from the listening seat. I can also use shorter length USB cables, i.e., with the ports facing from the back of the ALIX and USB DAC.
I'll post my mpd.conf when I get home.
