Different MB need different power requrement & heat sink method
In order to load the MB into general audio equpiment chassis
I have to made the music server's chassis by myself 
 
This CAT used Intel ATOM+ Nvidia ION MB
And coupled heat sinker with full aluminum chassis
To reduce vibration effects
I used 6mm aluminum board for bottom & 4mm for top
Additional 16mm aluminum board to strengthen the structure of chassis
Test result this CAT's temperature at 45 Celsius onfull speed(1080p video playing)
 
 

 

 

This MB used Intel M600 cpu
So I used different power supply & heat sink method

Found a Kenwood VR 6050 in the parking garage today near-ish to the dumpster. Figured I'd bring it home to see what's wrong with it. To my amazment, nothing. So far. Cosmetically, it's in perfect shape. I'm going to pick up a coaxial cable this weekend to go from my uDAC to it, and then use the 6050 as my headphone amp. I know, i know, the M50s don't really need one, but hell, it was free.
 

A dumpster????  Are you serious?  That's pretty awesome man....nice....

Awesome setup, Austin!  Question though.  Does having a balanced cable change the sound at all?  I know cables can (arguably) differ in sound, but is it that different from using a normal TRS cable?

God the T1 looks so much better than the HD800...

 
I don't know, seeing them both in person, I think the HD800 looks better.  But different people will have different tastes in visual aesthetics.

I cant believe you own a M9. I am jealous as hell, I would to use that camera just once in my life.


Aha, no.  My apologies, the photo is not mine as much as I'd like.  My brother does own an M9 (I only own the M8), but I'm hoping I can own one for myself in the future very soon. :)  Leica makes wonderful cameras and they are also very gorgeous.
