    Music Server vs. ripped files on a computer? Sonic benefits?

    As the title says, am I missing something by just using ripped files on my computer as opposed to using a dedicated music server like an Aurender or an Innuos/Zenith? (FYI, I use a Chord DAVE and a Windows PC with external solid state drives for my music storage.) Thanks.

    Tonal memory/slightly-imperfect pitch

    I was taking some audio-related tests, and there was one for perfect pitch. I've known for a while that I know when something is off by the slightest bit in pitch, but don't think I have perfect pitch (even after this), as I never learned the scales. I did use two reference notes, so I had a...
