Thanks FPM for the advice and clips.
Snakeoil OS - I love the array of SW options it provides. Add the support and I have a mirror of the choices offered by Antipodes Audio etc. Should I opt to rip I can use Clementine. Past times I used Amarok. If I go Volumio it forces me to go MPD. Antipodes Audio and other streamer/server manufacturers offer the range of players/servers Snakeoil does with a rationale.

HW total outlay of below $175 including DAC. Bargain.springwood64 wrote: ↑2020-10-30 14:08WheresMyNaim wrote: ↑2020-10-28 23:59 Jetway Atom motherboard fitted. New DAC en route. SW loaded.

It is hard to exaggerate just what a bargain the Hakai is - not only is it cheap by Audio standards, it plays music gloriously.
The only doubt for me was the Jetway. Case choice was a home run for design and cost.springwood64 wrote: ↑2020-10-30 17:21It is hard to exaggerate just what a bargain the Hakai is - not only is it cheap by Audio standards, it plays music gloriously.

Extremely pleased with my hakai, but also the dirt cheap Spotify streamer(s) build off the ready to go Intel Atom 2800 that FPM located on eBay.
I have a bunch of other DAC options lying around that I keep meaning to test.
agent_kith is an absolute star. Can’t believe how patient he is with all kinds of amateurs like myself.
Streamer singing with old DAC. If this is burning-in I'm smiling my butt off. Auralic is whacked already, new DAC to come.WheresMyNaim wrote: ↑2020-10-30 22:49 Leap of faith with the Jetway - it sounds good. Burn-in and new DAC will make it sing I wager.
I've no way to compare this board to the Gigaport or Intels. But FPM can compare 2 Gigabytes models, 3 Intel models and this Jetway.
Intel Optane will burn-in over a couple of weeks I'm assured.
