Wow, that’s quite the result Dan, very nice!
For anyone who missed it Confused started a topic about the NUC’s running AudioLinux that people at the Audiophile Style forum are testing with. Confused’s topic is here: https://devialetchat.com/Thread-%C2%A320...o-%C2%A35K
The people at AS are currently trying to find the sweet spot (balancing computing power with energy efficiency/low noise) for the server part in a dual setup.
I’ve also build one of the NUC’s mentioned at AS which I can’t share final details on SQ about yet because of some issues in my system (my Hynes PSU and P3 Power Plant have hardware defects waiting to be fixed). Nevertheless I will probably sell mine a little below cost (250 euro’s probably) in about two weeks from now to also try the i7 one (that Dan’s using also) which should be a little bit better sounding. It is a NUC7PJYH in an Akasa Newton JC case built by me and since I’ve built dozens and dozens of computers in my life (also thanks to a job I had back in my student days) it’s done right. Its BIOS is tuned, one would just have to plug in his AL USB stick and that’s it. I could even send one USB stick with AL pre-installed and tuned with it but I can’t give support as I’m simply to busy for that but it would be fair to buy a license from audio-linux.com anyway which comes with one year support.
