Mapman - sure, my system comprises:
2009 Mac Mini with SSD and 8Gbytes DRAM (better than newer versions IME). Amarra rev 4318 used for playback - 3 EQs are used in Amarra to flatten the speakers and room. Tuned with calibrated mic Earthworks M30 and iTunes Audiotools. Music Files are all .wav format uncompressed.
16-foot Polestar USB cable
Short-Block USB cable filter
Empirical Audio Overdrive SE DAC - used for volume control and D/A
Empirical balanced "bare-wire" silver cables
Empirical Audio Final Drive transformer buffer for galvanic isolation and achieving true-balanced signals (2 chassis). Also switches in the Home Theater
More Empirical balanced "bare-wire" silver cables
Empirical Audio modded Parasound JC-1 monoblocks - power cables are top of line silver Tekline.com
Empirical Audio Clarity7 speaker cables
Custom 4-foot ribbon speakers with 10" bass-box underneath. Custom crossover with Jensen Capacitors air-core inductors, V-Cap Teflons, non-polar Black Gates and low-inductance planar resistors. All wired with silver-plated copper wire in multiple twisted-pairs.
I also have a Sonos connected with cheap S/PDIF cable to an Empirical Audio Synchro-Mesh reclocker that feeds the S/PDIF input on the Overdrive DAC for more casual listening.
I dont sell the cables anymore BTW.
