Amending this comment made  before discovering how good Audio Linux is as source solution OS.  SSD's tend to be bright and irritating for sound when using Audio Linux, a  hard drive sounds more natural but does lose some high frequency sparkle. I find myself preferring  class 10 SDXC storage media as the best compromise

between the two and in all cases external USB3 attached to allow independent power supply for the drive sounded better than internal SATA attached

 

@davide256 following your post from May, specifically in regards to SSDs under Linux sounding ‘bright’...  have you explored any other remedies/solutions/ideas outside of SDXC?  For example, does a JCAT or Patchenko SATA cable help tame brightness?  Eager to hear any of your findings.    Am also curious more generally if Linux+SSD is actually bright in reality or if everything else is actually/historically just ‘dull’ in comparison.
