If the Skylla preamp is anything like the CD5S, I think it seems fairly noisy if it's
not partnered well with the power amp.

So best to audition with the power amps you want first. On others it's virtually
silent.

Thanks Doggiehowser. Any particular power amps that you experienced noisy and hum?

I aim to add a server to my system whose nucleus is the venerable CD5s. I intend to build a library of 192/24 and 96/24 files; any suggestions regarding servers and favored input (USB, SPDIF, TOSLINK, etc).

MacMini
SSD (do a custom install of OS X without the extra apps)
8GB RAM minimum
Audirvana Plus

Use TB or FW for external storage of files

Use a good USB-SPDIF interface. I suggest Wavelink HS
