I was planning to order the Asus motherboard that the Sound Galleries music server uses, and I note they replace the crystal clock with something like the PPA clock, so i will do the same. Do you have any particular RAM to recommend, or just any good one? I note that sound galleries use coolers on their ram dimms.
had a brief read through the thread on CA
and more here

its double choked which is great to negate problems with been connected to mains electricity
most of audio pc is to do with controlling noise
never underestimate the influence of power
seems like they're not afraid to charge for it, if it were me and goin all out.... i would have provided separate transformers for each voltage rail
they say they can't hear a benefit of usb cards?
most of the benefit of usb cards is the ability to power that card chipset and oscillator with a separate reference supply, i guess they never tested that?
the ram wont need coolers never will be warm
i bet its a form of emi protection
some of the adhesive 3m emi absorber would be fine either
another thing people forget is pc monitors and amplifiers in most countries earth to ground causing a ground loop between pc/dac and amp
i think skylake chipset is 24mhz any good tcxo clock module would be a good improvement with a reference supply, maybe even better than a ocxo with a poorer supply!
its a slippery slope
but its really astounding how good it can sound
$16,000 for computer?!!
If I start all over again, I will only look for a good streamer!
Do you think youll be impressed with a streamer?

Actually, I was impressed this weekend in my system!
Just before that, I fixed the "problem" with my PC and I could not imagine better sound!
Streamer killed my PC and Teradak!
And don't even mention the convenience!
