Hi Bluray

Ok thanks for the update, Will pass on the E350. What did you think on the HP N40l Mircoserver with a graphics card of some sort?
With the £100 pund cash back it works out a cheap system setup.

I'm not familiar with HP N40L, but 1.5GHz dual-core seems a little weak......

A stronger GPU will help with playback, but you need a stronger CPU to navigate, stream, etc fluently......

Curious, if you have bitstreaming setup, will it output mp3s the same fashion? Then you wouldn't need a USB-DAC.

Mp3's are always decoded to pcm before output.
