Re: Which Linux kernel and audiophile player?

I've had a mini-ITX fanless system running DSL to a USB DAC for a couple years now with excelent results. You mention it runs slow, can you describe that a bit more? What seems to be slow, from what event to what result?

What version of DSL are you using? What are you loading it from? (CD, USB stick, hard drive etc) How much memory do you have? Are you running DSL driectly off the storage medium or loading it into memory first? This can make a HUGE difference in speed.

I've spent a lot of time running XMMS on my system and it has worked flawlessly, as long as you turn off the fancy items and EQs etc it works great for playing music.
