ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Gene mATX LGA1151
INTEL I5-6600 3.30GHZ Skylake
G.SKILL Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4-2400
SAMSUNG 850 EVO M.2 2280 250GB - for the boot drive
SAMSUNG 850 EVO 500GB for the music files.
HQplayer software
To connect from the server to my K-03x
2- High end silver USB from Audio Sensibility in Canada
IFI micro – iUSB3.0
Cost in total was a bit less that the retail of the BDP-2.
I turn off all up sampling and filters on my K-03x. With hqplayer you have
a choice of about 20 different filters and a huge selection of up sampling to PCM or DSD.
You can also use Roon as the front end with hqplayer doing the up sampling.
I find I have much more control and tweaking options with this setup.

Nice build.
