Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

Or just equip your PC / server with a decent sound card that has ground free transformer coupled outputs via AES or SP/DIF.
This takes out all (or close to all) the noise there is in all PC AND server because of the PCB transporting all kinds of signals back and forth in Ghz speed.
SSD has no moving parts, but that doesn't mean it has no electrical noise. It reduced fan noise because it needs less cooling maybe.
I have put my PC in the kitchen cupboard, which is on the back of wall where I have my audio gear mounted.
And there is the famous "hole in the wall" to put the cables through.
Fan noise in the kitchen, quiet and 2 channel audio in the living room

There's no word because the hours are regular hours

Edit: actually, Alex tells me that it will be closed Christmas Eve.

So, again: info@schiit.com. I will no longer try to guess what's what.

Heard a new claim today. The faster the memory card the faster the musical transients. This wasn't made by a company or dealer. Just an individual. I know there are a lot of unexplained things affecting sound. Don't think this is one of them.

Silly.......Everybody knows that! HOWEVER, the noise floor is a totally different story.

It's not even worth beginning to explain why memory speed doesn't affect the music.....unless you have very very very slow memory like mine.

 

[Pandahead]

But it's low noise....for your phone..... walking down the street with earbuds... then getting hit by a bus because the sound is now soooo hypnotically mesmerizing....

The only time I hear any noise in my rig is whilst eating peanuts and listening to headphones.
Happily self-induced.

Happy Holidays, Jason. Just wondering any plan to release toroidal power-supplies in 2018?

That memory card claim about the faster transients reminded me "that" explanation about why in an AC circuit, the current lags the voltage in an inductor: cause it's delayed traveling through all those loops until it finally appears at the other end of the inductor.

Sounds legit to me

I know I'd get dizzy going round and round like that… hahahahahahahahahaha
