frednork Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Item: Fanless C.A.P.S. style music server w SOTM usb PCI card and Gieseler triple linear power supply Location: Melbs Price: $650 ono Item Condition: works well Reason for selling: NLR Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: This server with the SOTM usb card and the triple linear power supply rivals or betters commercial units that sell second/hand for 2 1/2 times the price of this. Very nice sounding unit which benefits from the SOTM card and LPS. This is similar to a C.A.P.S. V3 server but at a higher level with an Asrock AD2700 motherboard with 2gb single sided ram and a 128GB ssd, a highly modified SOTM usb card and a Gielser triple linear power supply. The SOTM usb card has been upgraded with better quality caps and a larger power supply cap. One of the usb ports has been disconnected to reduce unnecessary noise and the power connector has been modified to accept bare wire to allow direct power injection. The giesler power supply provides 2 x 12 v and 1 x 5v. One of the 12v outputs powers the motherboard and the remaining 2 power the SOTM usb card. The outputs on the supply are all adjustable should you decide to use it for another purpose in the future (see pic below). The unit is all connected up and can be demo'd or shipped as is ready to go. The SSD currently has a demo version of euphony OS on it but any system could be put on it. The unit will run Roon but wont be suitable for upsampling but will do simple dsp or convolution. If anything the case is a bit ordinary and does its job but could be changed for any case that will take a mini-itx mb, the motherboard has its own passive heatsink and doesnt require a fan. I used this server as a very clean endpoint in a Roon setup. I will be listing my powerful fanless server used for upsampling and processing soon.
