I'm having a bad couple days, I aint gonna lie. I achieved the state of audio bliss where I quit paying attention to news and just listened. In the past couple days I realized my server quit working and my USB DAC died (as well as my phono amp but that's a different subject). Anyway, I have 2 questions:

- What is the latest on USB DACs. I had a meridian 2 and loved it. I was quite happy with it and would be for the rest of my life, but it died. I didn't treat it well, lots of travel and time spent in a back pack. I am ok with just buying another one but I thought I would ask first.

- What is the latest on servers. This is less pressing but I need to figure it out soon. I'd like it to just connect to my iTunes library. I have a good DAC, so I just need something to access the library. I used a Logitech Squeezebox but the best I can tell it simply doesn't like the latest upgrade to Mac OS. I can't get it to work.

Thanks for your help in advance. I'm off to lick my wounds.
