Power supply　　　super flower LEADEX PLATINUM SE 1000W

- OS:              Windows 10　Home

- Player:        JPLAY FEMOTE

USB -DAC ANTELOPE AMARI

remarks
The wall outlet has been replaced with a HUBBELL 8300R MRI for audio.

If you want to do your best to use JPLAY FEMOTE, it would be better to have two audio PCs consisting of XEON for CPU, supermicro for motherboard, JCAT USB Femto Card for USB card, etc., but once due to budget constraints. Cannot be aligned with.

I would like to arrange parts little by little, but where should I prioritize?
Is the JCAT USB Femto Card the highest priority?

JCAT Femto USB and network cards with external LPSUs to match are of highest priority, IMHO.

thank you.

Let's start by purchasing the JCAT NET Card FEMTO and JCAT USB Card FEMTO and their corresponding power supplies.

By the way and a bit off topic, turning off SATA controller in BIOS will give a nice gain in SQ.

It's very attractive

I would like to try it, but my PC has data such as OS in the SSD of SATA connection, so it seems that it will not be able to boot.

Should I install an SSD that can be connected to PCI-Express?

It's a type like the image below.

Yes, or use an NVME M.2 as OS drive. Another idea is using a RAM disk but I haven’t done it.

Does that mean that the SATA connection has poor sound quality?

Taiko Audio abandoned SATA in SGM Extreme server.
