Why Does SSD Sound Better Using Pure Music??

[Forehaven]

I'm using PM's memory and hog mode. In theory, since all music is put into RAM and plays from there, one should not be able to tell the difference b/w SSD or my ext. spinning drives. But I can, consistently, pick out the better sounding music off the SSD...it's more transparent, realistic, more details and longer decay just to mention a few.

 

I am surprised about this, and kind of bummed too. They don't make SSDs big enough, and too expensive. I know they only have so many read/writes before they die too, but boy, I wish this wasn't so. Spinning drives are so cheap and so big now. Just too bad 'memory mode' doesn't equal the playing field b/w the two types of drives. I may just copy files over to the SSD that I want to listen too, and delete them when I'm done. It's worth the effort, but who knows how long the drive will last doing this?

 

Anyone else notice this?
