Audiolinux Server configurations, Software, Hardware, and Listening Impressions

[latenz]

Hi

I am trying to build my server as a onebox-solution. maybe if it’s better for soundquality I will need an endpoint too.

But first things first. What would you recommend for highest soundquality in Audiolinux Roon Hqplayer--Setup. At the moment I try with a intel i7 gamingboard to boot from usb-stick and put the roondatabase on the optanedrive. Maybe this is stupid but I thought this is what romaz and co recommend but they are now on euphony....

next step is ram-mode when everything is up and running...

 

my mainquestion- is it worth to split roondatabase in Optane and system in ram or should I put everything on the optanedrive...

 

i would be glad to have some more input to this...I will post my findings...

 

thanks

Just load the os from the optane drive into ram.

Yes...but the roondatabase is to big for the ram

Hi

is it possible to bring the server into sleep mode and after wake-up Roon did not need to rerun the database? I know it’s good for the equipment to be warm , but for me it  would be nice if there is some kind of standby?

thanks

I also did a fresh install with the new headless download...cause update from inside did not work for me ... even the suggested way crashed the system...with the new image everything was smooth...

Hi

is there a way to bring Audiolinux headless in standby or sleep mode and wake it up without a mouse? And or is it possible to power it down and stop Roon from scanning the hole library every time at startup...

 

i have a Xeon server one box setup with HQPlayer and Roon in Rammode...

 

thanks for helping
