The cabinet

Wood box of the MoSAP2 is really critical because it's unable to gain a good thermal dissipation of heat especially if ambient temperature is above 28°C. A metal box is a better solution. 

On the market there are already many solutions. The so-called "ht-pc" cabinets are really robust but too much big. They appear cumbersome near traditional hi-fi devices.

I've choose the Lian Li PC-C35A. 435 x 86 x 340mm is enough to contain all I need for this project.

There is a support for an hard-disk and a few fasteners that I've removed to make room for this project.

I've drill the cabinet to insert the fasteners to fix the DAC, the hard-disk and the RCA connectors.

Front panel look is awful. Ok it's a pc but...it can not go worthily in a livingroom. 

Luckily one of my brother's hobby is woodwork. So he build a custom walnut new front panel with only a push button and a led on it. Thanks Michele!!!
