On Computeraudiophile you also find some fanless builds under Because you have a McIntosh USB or SPDIF (RCA/Optical) are the connections of choice. USB 2nd with optical, Win 10 and new Realtek drivers very similar. From a sound quality perspective the dedicated Ethernet interface to Devialet D-200 sound best. From 3 meters distance you don't hear any noise. I use it also for gaming and playing video with madVR. JRiver Media Center for macOS features audiophile quality, Ten-foot mode, remote control, HD TV recording in real-time, customizable media views, supports playe, cameras, 90+ media file formats, integration with Facebook, Flickr, Audible, Amazon MP3, Google, Youtube, Wikipedia, Hulu, Last.FM, and Twitter, cover art lookup, three skinned interfac. I have build my self a music server with a 12 TB QNAP NAS:ġ x Seasonic Platinum Series Fanless 400 PSUġ x MSI Z87M Gaming Mainboard Killer LANġ x Intel® Core™ i7-4770T Processor up to 3.7 GHz, 45 W TDP 8MB Cache, 4C/8Tġ x 8GB (2 x 4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 DRAM 1600MHz C9 Memory Kit (CML8GX3M2A1600C9)ġ x Noctua NH-UB9 SE2 (CPU Cooler) + 1 x Noctua NF-A9 PWM (replaces packaged fans)ġ x Intel Desktop LAN (Dedicated Ethernet Interface to Devialet D-200)ġ x 500 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD Three-layer Cell Solid State Driveġ x SOtM tX-USBexp Audiophile PCIe to USB Audio Card If you have a big collection of music, video a NAS is a good solution to store your files. ![]() Music Servers with JRiver are Baetis Audio or digibit (To my knowledge they have adapted JRiver to their needs) for example:īaetis has an interesting presentation on their website about their experience what is for example the best audio interface. Maybe someone else here will have some recommendations that are more solid. Or you could buy a Mac of some sort and run MC on it. You could buy one of those (or the less expensive ones from the same companies that still run MC). Some of these are in the very high end category. At least 2 commercial offerings I know of, ship their "music servers" as (essentially) PCs with JRiver MC pre-loaded on them. I don't have any concrete recommendations for you. If it will be dedicated to MC or do other things. Whether Mac or PC is important or not to you. How much time versus how much money you have to dedicate to this. I just know that MC works really well if you set it up correctly. I have not compared MC to any of the players you list in your question. But let me be clear: I have NOT researched music servers in the past few years. ![]() A good computer running MC, I think, is ahead of the music servers I know about. MC with JRemote is a pretty amazing way to browse, search, and select music. I would have said that computers crash too much, are too slow, and don't have a clean interface for presenting a browsing and searching interface for music, in friendly way for living room use. At one time I would have told you that a dedicated music server from some company that really knew what they were doing was the only way to go. ![]()
