Cable for Lynx card to Berkeley DAC

Earflappin - that's a very nice system. What do you use for remote interaction with the server (i.e. from listening chair)? I take it you run the Alpha straight into your amp... if so what sort of digital attenuation do you typically require? Finally, have you thought of moving to the Pass XA60.5, or had a chance to hear how the two compare (e.g. on bass dynamics). Thanks

Earflappin - thanks for that info. Very helpful. I am seriously considering the Zalman + Berkeley as my venture into the world of hi-rez. The netbook for remote access sounds like a good solution, one that more and more people seem to be using. I'm wondering if one could buy one of those Zalman units (e.g., through Goodwins) with a built-in XLR output (i.e., have all the Lynx-to-XLR conversion happening internally over very short wires), such that you can just use your own high-end AES/EBU digital cable to connect the DAC.
As for the XA30.5, it sounds like you have a nice solution for the "bass issue". I have full range floorstanders, and I haven't tried this amp in my own system yet to see how things work. But having listened to a XA30.5 at my local dealer, it is clearly the most musical solid state amp I have ever heard (from mid-bass on up) for under $10K.

Earflappin - one more question: Could you elaborate further on how you set up the remote netbook (e.g., what extra software was installed on the Zalman, also what playback program does your Zalman use?). Thanks.
