Hi everybody!
I am Portuguese and I live in France , near Paris.
A few days ago, I found this website because I was searching a de-jitter in the internet, so I found the Dip Combo, and I was very excited with it. I don't want a USB/SPDIF converter, I prefer to avoid it.
The Dip Combo is a good alternative to it and can improve the sound of several audio sources, wich is great.
Then I took a look at Monarchy Audio products and found them very interesting. One of my goals in to find the best performance for the best price, and M. Audio seems to me one of the best deals around the world.
Today I took a look at the "Building a Music Server with Monarchy Audio" page and I found it very helpful, with a good simplified explanation and usefull links.
I share many of the ideas and philosophy of M.Audio. I am also building a new system and would like to share toughts in this forum and make a few questions. I will be happy to contribute with opinions, photos or any help in this forum.
I was in the hifi business once, with 47Labs, Naim, Audio Note, and others.
I have a MAC, a Beresford Bushmaster Dac, (incredible for it's price), a Poppulse Pro amp just waiting for replacement, (may be one SM70 Pro MKII or a SE-100 or a SE-100 MK2 Power Amp, or other), a 47Labs Gaincard amp waiting for a PSU that I will build myself, and one pair of Essence Konus Audio full range speakers.

I installed a pair of copper wbt connectors, just to be able to use almost any cable.
This Gaincard is a perfect match to the Essence, for me is better than many tube amps. I t is a litle bit damaged in the corners, but works flawlessly.
I use the same 47 OTA cables in all system, for digital, interconnect, speakers and mains.
I will open a new post later to discuss about this system and how to progress from here.
I am an Internet Marketer but this HiFi hobby is an old passion and has an important place in my life.
Thanks for reading! I hope I'll see you soon in the forum!
