Thanks for your questions, Krisbee. I'm using a Core I7 processor in my server running Daphile. As for modifications, at some point I would love to experiment with the Linux versions of HQPlayer and JRiver (I know, they're not Squeezelite compatible, but I'm still curious about them). I don't need all of the functions of Daphile, particularly the CD ripping functions. I don't have Logitech Media server running anywhere else on my network. It is, as you say, a stand-alone system. I'm using a DCS Debussy for my DAC. Yes, I'd prefer to operate my system headless as I do with Daphile. And as to why I don't want to run a Windows based Logitech solution, while I've used Windows software in the past, the reason I've been playing with a Linux based system (Daphile in this case) is because it is considerably smaller than the Windows OS (including Windows Server, I believe) and sounds better to me. Whether that's a result of Daphile's smaller size and reduced demand on the resources of my server, I don't know. I just know what I'm hearing. I hope those answers help to give you a better idea of what I'm trying to do. Thanks and I'll look forward to reading your reply.
