Windows X Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I’ve been exchanging ideas about computer audio improvements with my pals for a long while and recent he started doing some very serious shootout between the best of Linux today “AudioLinux” and “Windows Server 2019” with software optimizations. I’ve been checking out in forums recently and it seems there’s only good thing about one thing and the another but never see anyone posting about direct competition. So I asked him if I can share his test results in website and he said it’s OK. The test was performed with AudioLinux with the double PC. Server with Xeon optimized with Roon Server and music on NAS and the renderer on Celeron with Roon Bridge, both started by pen drive and then put in ram without disks in headless extreme mode. Good sound tonally correct, but lacking body and less broad and deep, thin sound and long tiring, compared to my current type configuration based on a single PC with Windows Server 2019 core with the new JPLAY 7 and Fidelizer 8.2, NAS with MinimServer commanded by mConnect. Sound warmer round, analog with more body and that projects you more in the sound event, in short, the sound of Linux I do not like. Put Linux both in ram has not had positive effects the sound of Linux is always exile, lack of harmonics compared to Windows. This is a serious shootout in extreme dual PC setup environment. AudioLinux is only $50 and should do pretty well for its price. I hope the future of Linux-based OS will be bright for those who don’t mind paying for products and services in near future.

I asked about direct shootout before but no one came to reply so I asked around and found this. This is his opinion not mine and I believe he's honest about it. I wish there'd be more dedicated Linux OS optimizations with more expensive price too and I hope we can get over the notion of Linux is free code soon. That'd be better than limiting cost of Windows software to compare. Happy Emm Labs/Viola/Karan/Rockport audiophile Fidelizer - Feel the real sound http://www.fidelizer-audio.com Link to comment

Middy Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Free really is for the love of it. People should be payed for thier work. The main thread do some good work. Each thread and other sites have there favourites as Pioneers buy and try. Its early days meandering for answers on this version of NUC/ Linux. Nothing is set in stone and nobody deliberately misleading. OEMs should have no fears long term. Room for everyone... I do hope this is compared from the more experienced members, good or bad.... we all want good audio, the journey is a large part of the fun... i dont envy those who can but enjoy thier experience all the same. That is free and well worth the admission.... Good luck friend.. ? Windows X 1 Link to comment

Seriously, this board is all about hyping free or budget stuff ignoring all else and bash anyone who thinks otherwise. I said extreme dual PC setup for the reason and all we have for Linux side is AudioLinux which is $50 for one year or $149 with life time support. I don't mind paying more if there is anything else better to pay for Linux platform. I also built some intensive optimizations myself but still prefer Windows and decided not to sell it though I'm sure it can massively improve Roon Rock, Daphile, AudioLinux, and many others like it did on various Android DAPs.

Hi WindowsX, Any more of the details of the shoot out may be exposed? I can see that 3 different computers were used, 2 for the dual AL PC and 1 for the WWin2019. More descriptions of them are needed to comprehend the context. Otherwise, that's never apple to apple. Given that PF2.16 uses AL and you use PF, the statement that "the sound of Linux is always exile, lack of harmonics compared to Windows." is not easy to harmonise. Link to comment

As I'm also one who seek information before, I'm certain what I post will be helpful. Both Windows and Linux are good in their own accord and I don't mind switching to Linux some days if I prefer good Linux platform over Windows one. I still continue to improve on Linux OS privately and share some of my research in Purist ROM too. 8 hours ago, mourip said: If this was posted from anyone other than the seller of Fidelizer it might carry some weight ...even as it is presented as a review by another...a "pal".

Windows X would have much more credibility by signing up for a Sponsored Forum where his position would be more transparent. Agreed. Personally I prefer to keep my daily activities on private with client alone and didn't post anything on communities for years until recently. The reason is some friends and clients telling me they want to see more honest feedback. And to be fair to CA community, I tried to asked Chris and staff about becoming a sponsor too a few times and I respect their guidelines to not promote my products more than necessary reply as support in Fidelizer thread. 2 hours ago, greenleo said: Hi WindowsX, Any more of the details of the shoot out may be exposed?

Well, I actually removed some parts because it might expose who reviewed it. I agree that some statement isn't easy to harmonize and I could have worded it better if I were the one who commented it myself. Later he also told me AL is quite good with Celeron as a single PC, as I suggested in novel thread before about AL being more suited to low powered server. 18 minutes ago, BigAlMc said: Hi Keetakawee, Ok I'm potentially interested.

Does it support Roon & LMS? Cheers, Alan I tried RAMOS with Windows before but it's not practical. You can't make changes to whole Windows platform. I could fit Windows 7 RAMOS into 2GB partition drive effortlessly so it can be used on 32-bit OS with 4GB RAM. Right now I can make Windows 10 Pro small enough to fit in 4GB partition with official dism debloating method. It can go lower with radical methods but stability and reliability will be tested a lot before making out as products. But I later discovered one of better method than RAMOS. Making RAM Disk to contain audio apps and core Windows audio files can be quite effective and even better than RAMOS because it doesn't need to fetch RAM image of OS before loading first but can load core audio components from RAM directly. It even sound better than RAMOS concept as pure Windows environment. RAMOS may sound great in concept but its side effects to increase stronger effects with digital glare isn't tolerable for some. I used to love memory playback and RAMOS concept until I hear very good analogue setup and good music performance to made me realize why analogue guy often complain about digital glare back in older days. If you're really interested in building server, please contact me privately. In public forums, I only want to share my experience and insights about computer audio that can be useful. At this point, I realized that I did a mistake as commercial guy trying to enjoy forum like other normal users. I has long passed the point where I was allowed to be treated like normal user so I stopped posting after I came to realization. I'd like to encourage fellow members to be brave enough to share their honest feedback without fear to be attacked from some members. If your opinion are honest and conduct in good will, there will always be understanding members who can appreciate it.

Given that PF2.16 uses AL and you use PF, the statement that "the sound of Linux is always exile, lack of harmonics compared to Windows." is not easy to harmonise. A quick note to clarify some facts about the Pink Faun mentioned by WindowsX. The PF WindowsX uses is an early v2.12 unit sent to him from a customer that was looking for a change in sound with a different motherboard than the 2.16. Also it has a 3rd party JCAT card that is powered separately rather than PF's own output boards and no OCXO clocks on board. So it's a very different beast from the current 2.16 unit. The OS is also different as the current PF AudioLinux version is optimised for the 8-core Rizen chip which was not present in the older 2.12 unit. And, for better or worse, the PF is primarily designed to be a single box player (baring the super, 2 box, 2.16x version) rather than split into a server and endpoint with their corresponding issues. So as hinted that the PF2.12 (2-3 years old?) in a 2 box shoot-out with AL loaded is inferior to a single box Windows installation is not entirely fair as there are too many unknowns in the hardware combinations to make the comparison meaningful.

Hi Keetakawee, I know who you are and have a rough idea about your offerings as I seriously considered the Nmitra server a while back but in the end went with a different option. So I am saying this respectfully because I appreciate what innovators like yourself bring to the market and I'm happy to see you succeed. But with all due respect, you are making comments about AL being "good for the money", you were happy to point out on another thread that AL costs $49 for one year or $149 for lifetime support. And you're posting anonymous posts saying that a dedicated audiophile preferred your offering to AL in a shootout. So I and others like me are intrigued and as such my questions stand as I'd like to assess whether it's practical for me to perform my own shootout without having to commit too much money. i.e. if there's a trial license and I don't need to buy too much hardware then I might try it for myself. As example a little more RAM would be fine but I don't want to buy another PSU. But without clear answers to my questions then frankly I'm not going to pursue it. I am also slightly concerned though that you are being evasive in terms of answering my questions. And it seems a little off that you are willing to discuss a competitors pricing but want to take the conversation to PM when it comes to your own pricing. So one last time. My questions stand if you care to answer them. Please forgive me for being so blunt but we are now into 'put up or shut up' territory because if you are not willing to answer basic questions that allow me to determine whether this is practical for me then I'm going to leave this thread and ignore it going forward.

Thanks, Alan It's true that most people if not all audiophiles I come across prefer more expensive option like Windows Server license + AO + Fidelizer or maybe with dedicated Windows only player too. Most of them also told me AL did good job for its offering price as well. If most audiophiles told me they prefer Linux ones, I'd share their opinions. I'm aware posting this will affect my standing and I gain nothing from it, lose some from it too but I seriously hope people to share their voice louder because we never have one in community until I decided to start this. I'd love to see audiophiles sharing their findings about Windows and Linux shootout too myself. I don't really mind if Linux will sound better. I also work on Linux plstform too and will switch when I deem it's better enough and enjoy the music with my ultra high-end stereo systems.

I was curious about your conclusions, because they are possibly the same ones I came to... PS.: I don't use Fidelizer and I also don't use Windows Server 2019. I use Audiophile Optimizer on Windows Server 2016. Maybe I was one of the first to be able to make RAMdisk with Server 2016. I've tried and I can safely say: my current configuration is appreciably better than AudioLinux, although I haven't exhausted all possibilities. I don't know nothing about HQPlayer and Roon... Can you explain how to do the WinS2016+AO in RAMDisk? I have AO and then I can try a shoot out myself. Link to comment
