According to Vincent "it gives more robustness and an even better sound!"
Will send my unit back after Munich.

So Guillaume, you will finally be at our level (on Cubox I mean).
They have a new model (4 core, 4 GB ram) and I am thinking of upgrading
I certainly owe Vincent a lot for giving me the idea of working on Cubox. What I have cannot be at the level of Totaldac Server, with the wonderful reclocker, but, alas, for a mere 150 USD investment, the capability of these devices are mindblowing.
The only "major" thing you are not using regarding the cubox is the esata connection direct to an SSD (preferably with PPA's black SATA cable). Sounds so much better compared to NAS playback. Maybe you should ask Vincent to enable that for you and just plug an SSD to see the difference.
