Hi All,
I've had the setup for about a month now. I'm currently using the new Berkely Audio Alpha DAC. I actually had the first unit delivered in th US. The performance of the two together is, in a word, spectacular. Resolution, dynamics, bass, it's all there. No digital harshness or glare, which is something the MBL electronics have been accused of in the past. I'm using a Samsung touch tablet as remote control and the music is archived on an HP Raid server. Data transfer is by Ethernet.
I don't know what sound card or p[layback software they are using ( is that against the rules on this forum?). I only know that I am finally happy.
The playback GUI is Windows Media Center which is OK. I'm told that somebody is writing Apple's Front Row as a Windows-based touchscreen GUI. Now THAT will be great!
I've had some well-regarded gear in the past, but nothing like this.

David
