RE: PC replacement for dcs stack

Thanks for all the comments in this thread!!

Looks like I'll go ahead and buy a Big Ben. I've heard others with dCS say they did not hear any difference between a BB and a Verona, and it looks to me like the BB is more flexible with digital inputs. I've read of modifications to the Big Ben. Can anyone recommend someone, and detail the mods and cost? I've looked at mauimods', Empirical's, and Black Lion's etc. sites for info. re this and do not see any.

Then, I guess I'll try to improve upon my Airport Express and replace it with something better to drive into the dCS/Big Ben stuff. Any suggestions?

Then, I'll start to tinker with ripping CDs onto NAS and feed that into the system via AES or s/pdif or USB. Then, I'll revisit the attempt to replace the dCS stuff, or at least the Verdi Encore anyway. I suspect it will be hard to beat the DSD from the Elgar Plus, but I'll try.

Thanks again to everyone who has posted comments!!
