Title: Music Server (You should try it) Post by: Arjan on February 11, 2016, 12:29:01 am Hi,
Had an old pc lying around, only used for ripping CD's. Made it the music server for my audio pc! To me it gives a better 3D soundstage especially more depth. And a bit cleaner sound. Also the audio pc is faster and more stable. No hickups at all. (I have some issues with the lower sfs settings) Advice: If you have a laptop or old pc available try a music server - audio pc setup! regards, Arjan Title: Re: Music Server (You should try it) Post by: briefremarks on February 11, 2016, 05:57:56 am I recently made this switch and can confirm the difference from using storage in the audio PC. I also recently switched to RDC from music service to audio PC, and running the audio PC headless with no keyboard or mouse, and found further improvements in SQ.

I was quite surprised the sound is more "present" in terms of sound stage and tonality. For the music server I bought a cheap ex lease corporate desktop computer (Fujitsu) that is quiet and flexible for changing disks etc. Now I'm collecting courage (and €) for the next step, the RAM OS. Stanley |
