That looks like a great build. Great mobo. Impressed that you have the Matrix USB. Very tempting - but I already have a few builds (one with a Streacom case). Someone is gonna get a bargain.

re Bargain
Thanks for the comments
It lets you get a lot out of a usb Dac + stream to other devices, it has enough grunt for upsampling to DSD 256 and the Matrix X-hi card is nice and provides a clean signal to the dac.
If you look at the price of the case and Matrix card alone, its worth the price for flawless playback and functionality. I can demo to a potential buyer if they are to collect
Cheers

Can this store ripped media locally or does it need a NAS? Also... streaming Spotify etc. All doable on this? Sorry for the noob questions - still a way behind on my knowledge of these things.

Wavy grooves go thru a RigB 540ML on an SL1500C. Digits stream from a cheapie CDP and a Sonos, into a Yamaha 803D driving Kralk Audio little 'uns. I used to have a Linn but I'm better now.

Hi
You could drop in a 1+ tb hdd for example and store all your music on the system, Yes you can use Spotty, Tidal, Qobuz et., Stream just about every music service online.
Cracking little server. The only reason I am selling it is to venture in to building something unusual, your more than welcome to pop by and listen to the server. Cheers
