firedog Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 And Windows 8.1 Pro? Most people have already moved on to Windows Server 2012 R2 by now, with Audiophile Optimizer. Probably "fringe" too, bits are, after all, only bits according to JRiver right? If you think about it, clearly not true. Just a very small subset of audiophiles. Most people don't want the expense or hassle of switching to WS 2012. We often confuse on this site something that is very popular among early adopter audiophiles - like many participants here - with the rest of the audiophile community. And let's not even consider those just getting into computer audio who come across this site.

firedog Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Chris- When are you going to start revealing the setups? Will it be once a week like last time (AFAIR)?

firedog Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Chris- Are you going to tell us how CAPS4 sounds compared to similar CAPS3 models? I know you don't like to do comparisons, but does CAPS4 provide better SQ, or is it simply a more up to date and less prone to obsolescence server? I think a lot of readers (especially those with a CAPS3) would like to know.
