Amir,

If you are looking for a transparent DAC and it could have a built-in preamp, you may want to take a look on:

Merging + Nadac
Nadac Player, same but a built-in music server (or something).

I did not listened to them, but at least their Pro Audio gear usually are very transparent. I rather prefer valve electronics but if I was in the market with the mind opened for SS DAC/Preamp I would take a serious look on those.


Thank you

I am trying to find a way to setup a PC Audio with various OS/Software and various hardware.
I think about a "headless fanless low clock/power motherboard/cpu" with "light and optimized latency bit-perfect OS/software" and true optically isolated ethernet connection between NAS and PC. in my idea the PC Audio has no hard drive and i will boot it from network via PXE Server. the PC will remotely control via SSH or ... by my tablet/iphone/macbook. controlling ground loop is not easy in this complex chain.  i gues more cpu core with lower clock frequency could be better.

the main problem in my idea is Power supply of both motherboard and usb card. I guess CEC TL0-X sounds good because of it's power supply.
controlling the noise is my second priority.
no transport sounds as deep as CEC TL-0x and it's micro dynamics is superior to any other transport.
I think at first step i should find a good power supply then trying to lowering PC noise.

i would like to hear CEC is making a music server :-))
