You're still left with the noise caused by the hard disk(s). Even Samsung Spinpoint disks configured for "silent" operation make a little bit of spin and seek noise. I note that the Maestro has the hard disk suspended so as not to transfer vibrations to the case, but I would lay money on the device not being genuinely silent.
As far as I'm concerned, the Slim Devices solution is the correct one: a central server placed somewhere remote, where the noise doesn't matter (mine's in the attic), and client front ends with *absolutely no moving parts* at the point of listening. -- cliveb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23839 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
