RixTheTrick's System

by rixthetrick on

Description

The first photo is of my current system configuration, QRD17 diffusers, with the Lenehan Audio ML2 stand mount speakers with springs between them and the stands. There's also springs on the sub, the linear power supply and under the amplifier atop the white granite slab.
Speaker wires and interconnects are all wide copper foil.

The HD Plex 300W has four voltage outputs, I am using the 18VDC from it.
The plugs supplied fit directly into the barrel connector on the mainboard.
All the plugs are unmodified to fit directly into each of the connectors and there are a lot of selections/ mix and matches available.

I like the interface on your foobar player, is that a skin or plugin?

It's an 8W integrated commercial twin core Intel fanless mainboard.
I had a custom copper heat sink machined for it, and I use 19VDC for the board, 5VDC for the two SSD (one for Win Server 2013 R2 and software, the bigger strictly for music files) and 5VDC for my J-Cat Femto USB card.

What really makes it work great, is the software. Phil's Audio Optimizer, JPlay Femto and Fidelizer Pro.

Thanks Scott,
I think it's a good start on the budget allowed (I'm married with a mortgage),
and I have a lot of work to get my listening room up to the level of the equipment I've accumulated.

I had to go look, your system looks pretty tidy too. Your room is huge, and your massive couch is room treatment in itself :-)
