Building a DIY Music Server

[letterman]

My wish list for this server build is to be able to upsample to DSD512 using HQ Player to a T+A Dac8 DSD.

Will this be possible, and if so, how far into the complex range of HQ Player options could it go? 

Also, what CPU options are on the drawing board and are there any hot contenders?

Thanks for your comments, Nenon. I read your earlier comments re the sound quality of the Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs. I'm following this thread with great interest. Thanks for your efforts.

I'm starting to collect bits for the upcoming build and wanted to check if it will be around the ASUS WS C621E Sage Extreme Power Intel® Xeon® Processor Workstation Motherboard?

If everyone expressing interest would copy the last post by someone adding his nick (with the @in front) we end up with a clean list, otherwise we run the risk of someone getting lost as there propably will be other posts in between.

Congratulations on a fantastic build, SK8.

Can you give us details on the Ram you used?
