im going to build a small atx or matx system and want it to operate as a server mainly running just foobar with a large harddrive small screen etc..
so i can scroll add music to foobar and play on the seperates
the bit is dont fully understand is do i just need a sound card with rca outs on them or a soundcard with a dac .. or is it better to go external dac.
and is the more you spend the better the quailty ..
Would something like a CREATIVE SOUNDBLASTER ZXR 24 BIT BE OK.. or is that underkill overkill..
im guessing anything motherboard chip case as long as its quite.. and possibly the same with a graphics card. though i could hdmi to tv for films etc..
sorry for the long ramble just done a lot of reading and still confused..
thanks in advance
