Hi Peter, That looks really nice! So the new LPS fits in a case like that.
One remark though, I tried a low profile in the past, but got noise issues with the CPU fan. It was to close to the top part of the case and made to much noise blowing through vent opening. More space between top vent opening and fan was needed.
Regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,
About the volume control, is it remote controlled? The input - output selection is manual?
About the input - output selection I am not so sure what it means. I my case the NOS1a output will be on the BNC inputs. From there I can select or the BNC outputs (on the back) to the amplifiers or headphone 6.5 mm jack (on the front) for my headphone. So I can switch between those two outputs, and both will to use the higher path for best SQ? Or just one of them?
Next I could also connect via RCA my TV and switch again to the amplifiers or headphone but via the lesser path with volume control.
Is that how it will work?
The design looks great!
About the title, is it still the cheapest upgrade?
Regards, Arjan

Hi, The connection was not the issue in my case for the album playback. It gave me ticks during playback and sometimes losing the RDP connection. It seems that my connection is not 1Gbit all the time, with 100Mbit (setting of the card) it is stable. The ticks came from automatic reconnecting of music server to audio pc all the time during playback. (bad 5e cable I think)
Lowering the Q1 from 14 to 4 did the trick for me to get continuous playback of an album. And SQ is still fine!
regards

Hi Anthony,
Just my 2ct. I had similar issues. It was solved by lowering the Q1. Also my connection between music server and audio pc had to be lowered to 100mbit. But I think Q1 did the trick for me. I can now lower sfs to 0.07 without issues. Regards.

Hi, I also have only one fan for the cpu. It is powered by a separate lineair psu at 7V. At one time I forgot to power up the lineair psu, so the fan was not running. After about 1/2 hour or less the music started to stutter...... Cpu to hot. I started the fan and temperature went down. Music was fine again. And this is with MinOS. So yes the fan is needed. Regards, Arjan

Peter, Is it possible for you to determine the right length of the short blaxius when positioned Nos1a and B'ass next to each other?
Else, where are the in- and outputs on the B'ass are positioned? With that knowledge I could figure out the needed length.

Hi Peter,
Yes, the point is that currently the Nos1a is just in the middle between the amplifiers. With the blaxius exactly at the right length. So to me it seems that the B'ass will be in the middle now replacing the Nos1a with the Nos1a left or right from it. So they will be positioned next to each other.
So will the 50cm enough to do that? I hope you understand what I mean.
Regards, Arjan
