I thought about the Auraliti or other Vortexbox solutions, but ultimately I wanted the high capacity HDDs to be elsewhere in the house for noise reasons, plus something like an UnRAID array is a bit more flexible, offers a bit more protection from disk failure (and can still run Logitech Media Server, iTunes server, or feed a Vortexbox via shares). I'm about to wire everything up with a gigabit switch, so the NAS, SBT, Mac, and all the other gubbins are wired and talking to each other over that rather than wifi so shouldn't have any speed problems.
The SBT + EDO does not work with the M51 directly through USB as the DAC doesn't have Linux drivers yet. I think it may work straight up through coax though. The SBT has all these hardware and PSU upgrades via third parties, but I'd rather just add a reclocker. Im going to be getting the UPSmart AG1500W ReGenerator for all my gear anyway so the idea of paying more than the SBT itself for a little linear PSU for it is laughable.
