Build An Audiophile Music Server (CA03)
Alright it's time to kick it up a notch or two. I'm not turning it up to 11 quite yet, but the CA03 music server is a significant step above the previous two in both functionality and sound quality. I am changing the computer this time in order to keep the price down. Driving the price up is a really nice DAC and quality disk storage that doesn't require any work-arounds, provides plenty of space, and 100% data redundancy. This is a music server that could make you happy for a long time with great sound and hard drive space for a large collection of music.
Model CA03
The first two models of Computer Audiophile music servers were very elementary, and for the price were very nice. The feedback received was very positive, but I sensed everyone really wanted something more. That sounded great to me because designing average Joe systems can get boring. After all most readers are audiophiles who aren't satisfied with run-of-the-mill systems they can pick up at BestBuy. If you are looking for something in between the CA02 and CA03 you will have to make a couple substitutions where you see fit, or just ask a question here on CA and you'll have an answer in no time. On with the show.
