Doesn't fidelizer only affect playing audio files *on* the PC? It would have no affect on audio files sent to a SB. Deaf Cat wrote: > > I have disabled a lot of services, including the paging file.

Or computers for that matter. The type of SATA cable (or ethernet cable, or hard disc manufacturer) does not, in any way, alter the properties of the digital audio file being stored, read, copied or transmitted on the network.

Better to set up a RAM disk and put the swapfile there. Windows goes about it's merry way without the latency associated with reading and writing to a physical HD. Or better yet, put the whole OS on an SSD. I'll never build another machine without one.
