that'll need a lot of cooling. I don't think you'll need anything more than an atom 525
I was looking at one of the 20W processors....

Had a very strange thing yesterday (first malfunction since new - a few months). I was listening fine, then I switched track, and volume & distortion went though the roof, switched again & it was OK, back to the "problem" track and it was OK too. a second track then also showed the same behavior. Power cycling the MDAC cured it. Anyone else had this?.

Norbert,
I just cleared out my mailbox,

Hi John, I'm on the original software.Random miss lock - Due to a design bug in the ESS DAC IC, once in a blue moon its prone to miss lock...
I've personally not experienced it for a while...
Are you still on the original software - or one of our Pre-release Beta's?
Mines crackled 3 times this evening now - all using USB. Any filter setting. 16-bit material. Left channel only. Cycling inputs 'cures' it for a random period of time...
Hopefully this can be solved with another firmware release?

And there are native distros compiled for OpenELEC, the open source XBMC operating system.. Very very slick to use!
Hi Phil,
Planning to use an Intel DH61AG - decent quality and supports i5 and i7 with DVI and HDMI - unless a better option comes up?
BDAC, MPAX, MTRN, MAMP & then MITX...

The DH61AG is a very interesting motherboard which should satisfy many of us in terms of features (heat dissipation may be a concern as highlighted by others).
My only concern is that the H61 chipset was introduced over a year ago, which means that a replacement of this board may become available before the MITX is released... actually there is already a replacement for it, called the DQ77KB
rajdude said:If you can forgo the learning capabilities, you can get the project done with < $10 in parts and 6 solder joints. All you need is a discrete 3-lead IR receiver (some good choices are here (http://www.vishay.com/ir-receiver-modules/)), a 10uF capacitor, a 100 ohm resistor, some cabling and a molex header connector (or, if you have an internal 1394 connector, you can just cut one end off and use 3 wires for the solder connections. The capacitor needs to be soldered in parallel between the +5V and ground lines. The resistor needs to be in series with the +5V line (the third diagram down on page 4 in the pdf mentioned above.) Its probably easiest to use all leaded components (i.e. with long legs). If you have moderate soldering skills, this should be a snap. You will need to connect the CIR header pins 1, 5, and 8 to the device pins Gnd, +5V, and CIR-Input, respectively."

I've tried Sonos/SBT but not cutting it , for me.

What's not to like about bitperfect output from an SBT?
Build one of these http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=116990 its done the job!
