Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Like anything else it depends ......

on the player and equipment.

Many software programs load files into a RAM cache in the player. Perhaps there might be a viable debate here that one is not actually streaming, but copying, storing, & loading. Yet others report better sound quality playback by using a "better" ethernet cable and/or fiber.

Some inmates have also said that they achieve better performance by using an internal HD instead of a NAS.

As people seem to be espousing the convenience of multi-room, whole-house, listening, - NAS playback becomes more and more important.




"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
