Okay, I might be going craze. I just noticed this out of nowhere on my two Apple devices.
1) iMac Late 2009 - Lion - spinning hard drive 1 TB
2) Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2012 - solid state 500 GB
Both running the same Audirvana Plus 1.5.10 via the same setup, cables, phones etc. I had music on both their internal memory and avoided my external drives for both.
I swear music sounds cleaner through my Macbook pro. The iMac sounded almost blurred and noisy. I'm not sure if it's because it's Lion vs. Mountain Lion, or music stored on a spinning hard drive vs solid state, or maybe something else?
Anyone else experience this or have an explanation for it (besides me going crazy)?
My experience is that Mountain Lion was a noticeable upgrade in sound vs Lion. Also the SS drive should sound a bit better than the internal standard HD. I have found through extensive experimentation that playing music via an external drive hooked up via ethernet to an airport extreme USB drive to give the "best" sound in my system.
And no I will not respond to anyone who says it cannot be, it does sound better in my system. Link
