But keep in mind CRC's could just be a cable or SATA header issue.

As above. Buy a drive that matches the speed of the data drive and the interface. e.g. I have a 7200 rpm HDD on my server. I backup with a 7200RPM bare drive using a SATA hot swap bay. I could use eSATA as well. NVME I am currently using a SATA SSD through an eSATA dock but I could probably...

The output is digital, so you need a DAC.

Like above. Mechanical device like speakers, therefore break in could be an issue.

I went through about ten pairs before I found some that I liked enough to keep. I suggest you buy used on one of the headphone sites and resell the ones you don't like to save money.

The Panaflo L1a was once my standard 80mm, but now I have gone with Nexus. I don't know about the Scythe, but I haven't been impressed by their 120mm fans.

Like someone above said, just send the digital signal straight out to the receiver and let it do the processing. The SR4002 is a nice piece of kit that will do a great job with the digital signal.

:cool:I like that

I did that with my first music server. A LC17B with some AMD parts I had found in a snowbank. Looked great and worked great.

I kind of gave up trying to find one, as there is no Canadian distributor, but as of a few months ago they were still shipping in the US with the old riser card. The riser card is for PCIe16x, so I would assume it fits in the second slot from the top...

Another vote for the DEMCIfilters. Here is all the nylon filter material you could want: http://www.smallparts.com/b/16414371?searchRank=salesrank

Look around. The smallest case that takes a full ATX board I am aware of is the Silverstone LC-04. I believe Silverstone also makes a PCIe16x riser for it.

Only one HDD and a 2.5" at that. Not the box for someone with a large media collection.

Blast from the past or what! One of the most desirable cases from the PIII era. Lots of modding and overclocking going on with those at the time.

My Lian Li PC-B25B has washable filters that are relatively easy to access. I made the task even easier by cutting to fit some Demcifilters from performance PC's: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=36_463_500
