Good advice if you thinking on build DAW computer yourself!

Another option to consider. I won’t use Asus or Tyan. Too many problems. I use Wavelab for mainly audio analysis, reconstruction, and editing.

Machine:

Supermicro X9DAi (Dual Xeon MB)
2 - Intel Xeon E5-2670
Case: Coolermaster HAF XM
CPU Coolers: Supermicro coolers (replace the fans with quiet fans)
Graphics: Nvidia GTX780
Memory 64GB of Supermicro recommended memory for this MB.
Audio: I use onboard audio
C Drive(SSD): Samsung 840Pro (256 GB)
Data Drives: 2 WD 2TB RE4 drives in a RAID 1 configuration.

Max Latency as measured by the DPC Latency Checker: under 185 microseconds

This is a server-class board with audio hardware onboard and lots of USB2 and USB3 ports. Been running a year with 0 problems. It is a beast and will handle anything thrown at it. Wavelab with major plug-in running doesn’t even bog it down. I like Nvidia because lots of video software supports CUDA and not the AMD video processors.

Looking for a good audio interface card. The onboard audio is a bit noisy. Any suggestions
