Hi Ingo, thanks for your feedback. Two questions: 1) On the VIA, was it noise in the audio path of an external soundcard, or the built-in one? I am planning to use a Delta66 breakout box in my project, hopefully to get around this problem. 2) For the fanless Intel, what kind of extra cooling

Hi Derek, we are doining a project with mini itx boards here. I have had very bad experience with different VIA chipset boards (computer noise in the audio path) so we went for the Intel D201GLY or D201GLY2 (fanless - needs extra cooling) with a Midiman Audiophile 24/96. It needs a BIOS update to
