Jean,you're probably right that over time there might be a shift to 192kHz material - for the time being for me this still is almost irrelevant since by far most of my music ("old" one I have as well as "new" one I buy) is 16/44.1 because it comes on CD. Let's see how SRC vs SoX as part of cPlay develop, I'd very much be interested in cics' opinion on what sample rate he sees best for Red Book material (176 vs 192) and for what reason (SNR? etc.)
Audiocom is certainly good - need to ask Lars why he's better :-) My knowledge in clock technology and architecture needs to be expanded and updated before I will decide on which to choose.
Well, power supply - you certainly have seen that I fancy battery plus proper capacitance - can only recommend that, need some extremist spirit though ;-)
Buffalo32S IMHO is not expensive at USD 469 at all, given the top-of-the-hill solution you get with it. I'm currently setting it up as my reference, then quite likely will go with 2 x ESS9018 evaluation boards as a next step (not a bargain at 2 x >EUR900), and then take the experience of those two to get to some "final end-all-search" DAC, who knows ;-)
Cheers
Robert
