Well I have already said I'm not in a rush: the Quad amplification is classic stuff and will probably outlast me, but the Beresford 7510 is approaching 20 years old. It has had a replacement power supply, but sooner or later it will fail. It is not a top notch DAC by current standards, but it is good enough for my purposes.But then you say > Regarding moving the LMS server, I would strongly recommend not running > it on a Windows machine that's also being used for other general purpose > stuff. Well I have already said I hardly use the Windows Desktop anymore, but it is using more electricity than a Pi would use to run LMS better. I don't even have a monitor attached to the PC anymore and have to Remote Desktop in. If it decides to upgrade or otherwise get itself into a Windows frenzy, Remote Desktop stops working and I haven't a clue what's going on. It's 15 years old and, and even though it has a recent SSD, it struggles with Windows 10 in its latest upgrade - time to be rid. And you got rid of the big ATCs - buckets of tears. In my Nicosia house I have the flagship MB Quart towers (no longer made) - it will be a sad day when they have to go. Brian In UK: Chromecast Audio Dongle and Chromecast Video Dongle attached to TV - Beresford DAC - Quad 77 Integrated Amp - AVI Neutron 4 Speakers - Sennheiser HD25 Headphones. Boom in Bedroom. In Nicosia: Delete Quad 77 and Neutron 4 and insert Quad 405-2 and MB Quart 980s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Labarum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19963 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115723 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
