yeah, A laptop is my digital music server.
i rip using EAC compressed in Flac format.
the whole library is stored on a 500Gb external drive
but I can shuffe about a third of my total files in and out of my pc
hard drive.
It is filled les than 1/3, to 134 Gb of music.

i am tem****arily using a cheap DAC (Konnect8) connected by firewire.
I have a new DAC on order, a Brigatta tube DAC form
PAcific Valve and Electric.
Its a modified Lite Audio 60 DAC.
One mod is that it is a USB DAC, but, it also accepts optical

I plan to go direct from my pc to the DAC by USB, despite USB
shortcomings.
But, at some time, I will also try going firewire from my pc into
some typer of adapter/interface that has optical out (such as by
Hagerman).

THe PC is a last years model TO****BA Pentium Dual Core SAtellite 183
mHz.
It was only $476 ON uBid as a factory repack.

It is dedicated to nothing else but playingmusic , so there is not
relatively much background activity going on.
I do my ripping on my other laptop, swapping an external drive between
the two
