I have a server (homebuilt PC) running linux and slimserver in a different room from the listening room.

In the listening room I have a SB3 hooked up to a DAC of my own design in which I feed a clock to the SB3, which sends I2S to the DAC where its reclocked before going to the DAC chips. This results in very low jitter.

I also have a mini-ITX fanless PC sitting right next to the listening chair. Before I had the hardware SB3 connection working I was running USB out of the mini-ITX box to the DAC. I was running softsqueeze on the box. Right now the box is used for controlling slimserver only.

I've also used the mini-ITX box to run XMMS to access the files on the server over the network, but I wanted to setup a multi SB setup in various rooms of the house so I went with the slimserver approach.
