firedog Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Would be interesting to hear a comparison of a commercial music server (something like the Aurender S10 - approx $7000) vs. the $1700-$3000 CAPS designs. Would not surprise me if the CAPS in at least one version was as good or better.

firedog Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hi everybody!Does anybody of the community knows if there is any company that build the Zuma server in Italy? I like very much the project but I'm not capable to build it and duty and trasportation to Italy are really high. Thank you in advance for any help. Riccardo Look at this: Streacom Fanless Media PC They will build you virtually the same thing as the CAPS Zuma (they even have the 3770T in stock that uses less power) for about the same price as Small Green Computer. You would have to order the SOtM USB card separately, but that isn't a big deal, and it plugs right in to your PC. They are in the UK so the shipping and taxes within the EU should be better for you.

firedog Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Chris- Did you ever try "internal SATA drives with the existing specified CAPS v3 Zuma power supply"? Results, in terms of SQ and power problems/no problems?
