@Rufus...
I think reclockers will help. This is whats happening with the TotalDAC server you guys tested. With Cubox, you can get away with a toslink cable instead of USB. Toslink's don't cost much and this device is said to give good quality output from that as well... However, I am so happy with the sound now, I don't want to mess with things...
@Confused...
Its exactly what you describe right now. Only instead of JRiver, the program running is the superlight MPD (Music Player Daemon) which is then controlled via Ipad with MPaD application. You just attach the disk of your choice, and copy your music files (connecting via another PC on your network, no need for the periodic loads)
And if you want, you can still connect to a NAS if thats what you prefer...
Once I finish all the tests, I will try to post a complete "how to", or rather "how I did it"...
In the mean time, anyone interested is more than welcome to join the test. From what I can tell, my Cubox, which is the most powerful four core version is using only around 10% of one of is cores... so the Cubox one level below (i2eX) should also do the job nicely, and its only 99.99USD without wireless or bluetooth, which possibly you will end up disabling anyways...
