Guys- just got a used DSD dac version 4- asked this on AC but thought I would try here- can someone give me step by step set up for Jriver 20- For some reason both DSD and PCM to DSD sounds very flat on my system- there is no air or life to it so I am assuming my settings in Jriver are wrong= thanks

Hmmm..... That is a streacom FC10 case with standard components costing $1,500 tops. I have one for sale with red wine audio batery on audiogon if you want to save a few bucks.
I don't think Lukasz himself is saying he has done something special. From the site: "There is no rocket science in our Komputer. Anybody can, and really SHOULD make such one for himself. It just takes time and money to buy EVERY part from a different vendor from a different country. First we have to import and stock this stuff in bulk. Pay shipping, customs and duties. Make sure everything matches. Have a skilled IT man put everything carefully together which takes 3 full days and 2 days testing and troubleshooting.! "
You are very wrong on the BoM costs. its modelled off Elberoth's own Server specs and he can tell you it costs waaaay more than $1,500 to build that beast. Massivley over-specified/
Audiocrack posted about it...
There is no secret that he Lampi DSD Komputer starts as a CAPS V4 Pipeline server, which you can get for @2800 from SGC:

Add $200 for 4TB storage, and you are @ $3000. Then add $1000 in extra software (Win 2012 R2 standard licence, Audiophile Optimizer, Jriver), another $1000 in Jcat bits (battery PSU, USB card, SATA cables) and we are already talking about $5000. And that still doesn't buy you their custom settings and 24 months remote support.
Sure, you can get all the parts by yourself and put it together a bit cheaper than what Lampi is asking, but there are certain people who do not have the required knowledge, the time, or just want 24 months remote support. It also becomes a branded product, of known build and quality, which carries certain resale value.
I got dirty and have built one myself, but I do not think it is a bad deal at all. I can name a few more expensive servers on the market, that are far less elaborate and cheaper to build.

upgrading.
Bruce is out of town not sure he is paying much attention, I think he has a Bal GG on order about to arrive.
I am sure he has the technology at his disposal to answer the question Mike....
He was bantering on Audioshark yesterday. Either way, let him answer the question. Geez....
"Bruce" is not Bruce Brown (aka Bruce B at AS). Bruce at AShark is an Aussie! Geez back. LoL
The man is offline, plain and simple. I am sure he will respond when he gets back from the real world.
