What's the situation on drivers for DACs?
The current copy on the Wiki says:
--- Quote ---The Id can stand alone and play to any audio amplifier or DAC.

I'm thinking:
--- Quote ---The Id can stand alone and play to any audio amplifier or home theater receiver. It also works with a variety of high-quality USB DACs.
--- End quote ---
If you have a qualified DAC list, at least a handful that have been tested, you link the "USB DACs" text to a separate [[Id Compatible DACs]] Wiki article with the list.

--- Quote ---It is a portable media player (in search of an outlet).

I wonder why you want to call it portable? Because it is conveniently small and fits in a bag? Or is there some other reason I'm missing?

MediaCenter on Linux currently doesn't play nice with my DAC. It doesn't do DSD or DoP. Some people have reported problems with their DAC's, too. A statement like this might be a little bold. I like Glynor's suggestion.
InflatableMouse:
Btw, I already own a NUC (latest gen with Haswell i5/HD5000) which is my HTPC with Windows 8.1.
I think I have plenty of space to run dual boot. If you like someone to help beta test give me a ping. I own an external DAC too, a Teac UD-501 with support for 2xDSD and DoP.

Yes, and it can stand alone. It has MC, a drive, and audio out. You can attach a mouse and a keyboard to it. You can connect it to a display. It's a complete computer, dedicated to media.

So, like Coke only the new one is actually better.
