ceejay, mswlogo,
Thank you for your answers. I assume that the reason of the different
sound is caused by different parameters, but I don't know which
parameter and which value. I'll tried to have the same configurations,
but there are a lot of parameters, from disk access to CPU cache and so
on,

Thank you all very much for all ideas and feedbacks. To clarify: I'm
absolutely happy with my squeezebox and my audio systems and yes, I
enjoy listening to the music (with case c) ) and not to the differences
of sound. The topic of this thread is for me to discuss some effects for
which I did not
I think you'll be able to narrow it down to the SATA vs. IDE interface.
You could also try mounting the drive(s) in an external USB case. Do a
bunch of listening tests, re-mounting the drive between each test
track. Then choose the best-sounding interface.
Or, just go with firewire. I've

I'm playing with buying a transporter and have read all the threads
comparing it with a modded sqeezebox. By chance I changed my server
hard- and software and was astonished that different server sources
sound so different. Has anybody made the same experiences, and does
anybody know why and what
Try picking the combo you think sounds best and compare it to the worst
in a blind test.
Do you still hear a difference ?
If so, keep your reference and keep eliminating (blind), one by one,
the other setups.
As long as your not spending money and your having fun no harm is done

IMHO the most likely explanation for any difference between different
server installations would be if some configuration difference had
accidentally crept in while installing - perhaps different volume or
preamp settings, or file format transcodiing options.
If all of those variables have

Is the server in the listening room? If it is, then perhaps the
different operating systems cause different amounts of acoustic noise
to emanate from the servers - eg. varying CPU fan speeds, different
hard disk access behaviour leading to different levels of noise from
the heads, etc. This

Try to replace your internal SATA cables with the silver ones made by
Cargas. It will lower internal jitter, which is certainly the reason
for the differences you hear.

This says it all right above. It's unbelievable the snake oil people
fall for. You'll never be satisfied, relax and enjoy
I would be happy to get your oppinions to this topic
I wouldn't overlook the effect of changing the wi-fi channel used by
your router when connecting the Transporter. I found that the
even-numbered 802.11g channels narrowed the sound-stage quite
considerably. After careful listening, even my

Why is there an audiophile forum?? Since almost anytime anyone who posts
a question that has to do with sound quality is flamed. I get the
feeling that if this was a automotive forum those that can't afford the
Porsche would also try to belittle those that can afford one.. Sad
