great things! in the end it is like an intel NUC but with the possibility of providing a better USB and Ethernet connection?
one question, is there the possibility to use an AESEBU card instead of the usb card ?.
my dac supports usb but i prefer a digital XLR connection, if yes, for example which audiophile AESEBU card could be used?

You can absolutely use a PCIe AES card like those from RME or Lynx.

yes but they are multi channel products with integrated dsp, solutions born for other purposes! I would need a card with direct XLR cannon connection for a single stereo connection, I use an AesEbu Nordost Valhalla 2 cable and I wish there were no other cheap cables in the middle ... I think all this is only for USB connections!
