  1. Hi Lex, I'm using version 0.15.9 mpd (MPD: Music Player Daemon) 0.15.9 My mpd.conf file is music_directory "/home/mbog/sb" playlist_directory "/home/mbog/.mpd/playlists" db_file "/home/mbog/.mpd/mpd.db" log_file "/home/mbog/.mpd/mpd.log" pid_file "/home/mbog/.mpd/mpd.pid" state_file "/home/mbog/.mpd/state" user "mbog" audio_output { type "alsa" name "My ALSA Device" device "hw:1,1" } This mpd.conf file is stored in a directory called ~/.mpd My music is stored in the directory /home/mbog/sb I start mpd using the command mpd .mpd/mpd.conf I hope this helps. Matt
  2. No reason that I use sshfs over nfs. I have used sshfs for years, its super easy to setup, and its what I know. I'm sure nfs would probably be a better alternative.
  3. Mike, I have no way to check the USB functionality. I believe the Linux community is actively working on passing HiRez thru USB, however. Thanks, Matt
  4. The newest Linux kernel (2.6.34) has drivers for the Asus Xonar DS sound card. I have discovered that this card is capable of passing bit-perfect (no re-sampling) audio through its S/PDIF output at 24 bits and sample rates 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 khz. The OS and card switch seamlessly between sample rates w/o user intervention. The sound quality at all sample rates is excellent. The sound quality using the high sample rates is amazing. I have not tried the analog outputs. To those of you still using Windows (or OSX) for your servers: its time to make the switch. Setup: * Debian GNU Linux, MPD (Music Player Daemon), files are piped from remote computer into listening room through gigabit ethernet using sshfs, music files stored remotely (to avoid having noisy HDD in listening room) * Listening room computer: fanless, SSD, Intel Atom D510, completely silent * System: Aesthetix Calypso preamp, Belles SA100 amp, Harbeth Compact 7ES2, Benchmark DAC1, Shunyata Hydra 2, Shunyata power cords, Shunyata and Stereovox cabling
