I want to get a server or something like it for some time but as I was waiting since the Pro upgrade for more specific ideas.
I am using AES/SPDIF(RCA) as presently the best sounding options and USB to listen to Spotify. The core infinity board may change what is the best input. Even if USB will be improved it may not ever become the best connection. I am presently thinking that ethernet with that improved switch could become the best sounding option using the next version of AIR or other protocols like Ravenna or Dante. If that will be the case the selection of a server (or NAS) would be quite different. The only one I am sure to have ethernet out is Innous Zennith but which protocol would work?
