You have that right , I wasn’t going to make this statement because I don’t want anyone to feel I am talking down to them but here it goes .

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Certainly possible, though I never stated I don't hear nuanced differences in gear. I'm just struggling to wrap my head around the statements from these boutique audio guys as it pertains to PC implementations. He's literally saying that software RAID 1 (drive mirroring) is sonically superior to software RAID 5 (data + parity), but that it's too wasteful to even bother implementing (especially when using expensive PCI NVME storage). And if he's blowing smoke about that detail, what else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I don't know specifically which statements are causing you to roll your eyes Mikey, and frankly there are WAY to many snake oil products to list, but as many different configuratioins of computer based play back systems as I have tried, I have NEVER been completely satisfied by any of them to the point where I wanted to get rid of all my physical media. The closest I got was with an i2s connection from a wyred4sound designed dedicated server into the wyred4sound ess DAC... and it might have worked for me but I could never get the wireless roon controller interface to be 100% reliable... and that's a no go for me. Any computer based server system I tried to implement with jriver running it was nowhere as good as player external dac set up in my particular system. Those server systems are resolved and decent sounding but they lack many textures and dimension that a simplified system does. it's not related to money... even though a good dac and media player is a more expensive proposition.

JJkizak Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 It took Thomas Crapper years to figure out how to flush ---- down the toilet. S---bends and paper towels do not. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Knocked out a 5 hour walk last week . My feet suffered , I wore sneakers . Today the SC Governor announced additional closures , sporting goods were one of them . I had no idea the sporting goods stores were still open . So I took a chance and and did a curbside pickup on these from Dick's . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
