Hi everebody,
I was thinking about building Gary’s PC music server but could not find all components and found his paper on laptop server today and decided to use this one.
Gary obviously does not need external storage device for his laptop server because he uses it for demos only and uses his PC server at home. I wonder what kind of storage devices guys who built laptop servers are using? It looks like USB HDD is not a good option if I intend to use USB DAC.
My other question is which Dac Minerva or M2Tech Young guys here perefer. I understand Minerva works better via FireWire. Does anybody on this forum runs Minerva without pre?
Thanks for your help.
PS. Gary, thank you for the design and the instructions!
