I seems like it should be fine to plug the card into a regular unoptimized PC.

 

It is usually the case that faults only become apparent when they are no longer there. 😄

 

I have tried many things and found that

- the reduction of running processes,
- a linear power supply on the motherboard,
- high-quality cables with soldered and gold-plated Molex pins,
- switching off SATA, WLAN, Bluetooth

and other things reduced interference (ripple noise, electrical noise) and improved the flow of music. 

 

I think every system is different and reacts differently to optimization. But if you don't try it, you'll never know.

Hi there,

 

I would like to refresh my current HQ server, any suggestion for the brand or model name of the motherboard and GPU card

 

1. MATX motherboard:

- i7, i9 13900K, 14900K or etc

 

2. GPU card

- target for 4060TI with 16G memory, shorter card version

 

I am looking for it can capable to upscale from PCM to DSD512 with EC filter and sinc-MG

Feel free to give me some idea on it

 

Thx,

Louie
