Re: Build a dedicated Audio PC
A few months ago I had a fanless pc assembled for me. It's a Skylake i5 ASUS H110T mono with SSD. I've been using Bug Head successfully. This new pc brought a very significant lift in SQ.

Re: USB Regen from Uptone Audio

I've reconfigured with the Regen to use the shortest cable I have do I've move the DAC. With everything properly in place I'm find...
