I have finally decided to sell my Hakai. This was my gateway into genuinely enjoyable streaming.

• Motherboard and processor: Gigabyte GA-N3150N-D3V with Intel ® Celeron™ N3150 quad-core processor.
• Kingston ValueRAM 2GB 1600MHz SO-DIMM
• Intel 320 series 160GB SSD with Deltaco SATA-1000 SSD Cable
• RGeek Mini ITX Computer Case.
• Supra USB 2.0 Type A to Type B Cable
• Gigaport ESI HD+ DAC
• Gigaport USB A to B Cable
• Ethernet Ribbon Cable
• Volumio version 2 is installed and the settings factory reset.

Just connect the Hakai to your network and the Gigaport DAC to your preamplifier (channels 1 & 2 only), set up Volumio, and start enjoying great digital streaming. To my ears, Hakai is as enjoyable as a Linn Selekt Classic (the only Linn streamer I compared it to).

See this forum and the Volumio site for details on setting up and using Volumio.

Note that I tried Volumio version 3 but decided that version 2 was more tuneful.
