Let's brainstorm..Setting up MinimServer to feed a USB DAC

[Holzohr]

Hello, I wasn't here for a while. To my very big surprise I was told on slimdevices forum in August that the Squeezebox Touch (with the EDO app) can play DSD files in the DoP format. All you need is an USB-DAC that can handle DoP. So, I bought the Matrix X-Sabre DAC. The next surprise was reading about Daphile http://www.daphile.com/#overview It works like an embedded system based on Gentoo and the LMS and supports DSD128 playback. It can convert DSD to DoP on-the-fly. I was testing it with an old netbook and the Matrix DAC via USB. It rocks!

So, maybe this could be interesting for Simon? A small slim MinimServerOS based on a Linux distribution. Or another approach, the MinimServer implemented in the Vortexbox? Afaik, the Vortexbox supports LMS and Sonos. So why not the MinimServer, too?

Sorry for my 2 cents
