Re: Since you're into DIY....

I've looked at the Hagerman Chime and I'm definitely interested. I've built some of Hagerman's other kits and been happy. The latest was a frykleaner which is a small project but it's nice for burning in electronics and cables.

I haven't heard different DACs and was wondering how this compared to other units? The only other high quality DIY DAC that I've seen besides the Chime is the AudioNote but them having a very complete kit costs a lot more money (stocking parts is expensive) and I'm not sure that there's more value there...although I don't know.

Did you upgrade your Chime at all? If so, what did you try/what worked?

I'm just looking at using a cable and not running a wifi network. I don't have a big house that I'm looking to pipe music all over and I don't want to have "drop-outs" from living in a noisy urban setting.

What kind of hard drive are you using/what do you recommend? I'd think that quiet operation would be important so minimizing fans might be a good thing.
