I already owned a couple of windows 10 pro licences so I used one of those. I'm running the asus headless using jriver remote. It works fine. I'm running AIR Ethernet to the Devialet, a tittle tricky but I got good help from a posting somewhere on the forum. I tried running wifi but got lots of drop outs and lots of noise on 24/192 (still not perfect with Ethernet but much better). I tried an Audioquest Vodka Ethernet Cable and I found that it improved the sound quite a lot. With an ordinary cable the sound is more dull, I think.
I'm quite happy at the moment but I'm thinking of trying something like the Audiophile Optimizer later on.
Hope this helps
Merry X-mas
Thanks frejo, helps a lot.
That´s the way i pretend to take.
I´m realizing that this is NOT a straight and obvious process, there´s a lot more details to care than a tradicional almost full analogic system.
For now i´ll try JRiver with the mac and an old hard drive already around here.
Then i ´ll need to find some good hi-definition files of music to try.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you all at home.
Cheers,
