I'd post a picture of my rig but it's nothing like what I had last year.  Saving up for a new laptop and DAC currently.

I had no clue that the PSX was so good at audio playback.  I have six of them (bought home from high school co-op placement when cleaning out THEIR storage room) sitting in my storage room collecting dust.  Looks like it's time for me to blow out the dust, buy the power and A/V cables and hook one of them up as a dedicated CD player.

Remember that only the first models count (SCPH 100x), the ones that have the composite plugs on the back.

Which one is that?

Promise Pegasus, I think you  mean. It's a RAID array, not a NAS. More, it doesn't ship sans-drives. If you wanted to reuse your own drives then I'd say go Drobo, though I'm not sure I'd actually recommend a Drobo to anyone who's tech-literate.
 
Besides, the real benefit of Thunderbolt is for high-throughput data transfers, such as editing raw 4K video. For anything else FW800 will work just fine. In that situation, just grab a multi-bay FW800 enclosure and drop some 2 TB Samsung or WD drives in (as meets your preference, I actually recommend mixing brands). Macsales.com has a pretty good aluminum 4-bay RAID enclosure that will doe RAID5. If you fill it with 2 TB HDDs you'll end with 6 TB of usable storage, which should be enough for most people.

Nice background and setup.  Do those cans do good for Metal and other genres?
 

 
Thanks. I only use the headphones for counterstrike, so I can't really comment on that...I think they would be okay (a little bass shy) but there would be better headphones available for the money.

Does NSPAN, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 and RAID10 (1+0). I only wish it did JBOD as that would make it a great option for ZFS setups. Tom's Hardware did a review and found the speed on this rig was comparable to any other RAID5 they'd tested and since it's all-aluminum it does well on heat.

Yup, that's right. The one with the RCA plugs on the back is the one to get. There is also another model that has the same DAC chip as the SCPH-1001, it is the SCPH-5501. This one will not have the RCA plugs in the back but is a good candidate for a mod that can add RCAs. I would just buy the SCPH-1001 though, works great as a stock CD player without any mods.

They sound great.  I was going to purchase a set of BX5a's, but I found the C100s to be perfect as near field monitors.

That is the exact model I have. Every single one I have is a SCPH-1001. I had good audiophile quality equipment laying around and never knew. (mind-blown) 
 
Thank you both WarroirSI and log0 for the your input and additional information.
 
How do you have your SCPH-1001 hooked up log0?

 

[gorb]

dude with the c-100s: you should pick up some rc-10s

 

[Syan25]

C-100s - what company produces them?
