francois Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hello everybody, I have optimized osx for audio (disable unnecessary service like Spotlight, no atime, no network etc) and found some nice improvements. I use usb for connecting to the DAC, therefore I use firewire for storage Question: is it better to reactivate network and use a NAS ? (Assuming that using another path and HW controller on the motherboard may modify "os jittery") Thank You François François MacbookPro 13" 2010 - Win7 SP1 64 - Jplaymini 4.3 - Entreq Konstantin - Legato - Nuforce DDA-100 - B&W Matrix 802 Link to comment

francois Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thank you to bzr, really good FAQ I have build a NAS to compare with firewire local Mac Book Pro storage Findings are: NAS is better (after 10 days testings) More detailled and relaxing sounds NAS is: windows xp underpowered to 600MHZ - 1.1V vs 1700MHZ - 1.3V very important to avoid ground loops, RJ45 cross cable is U/UTP : Unshielded cheers Francois François MacbookPro 13" 2010 - Win7 SP1 64 - Jplaymini 4.3 - Entreq Konstantin - Legato - Nuforce DDA-100 - B&W Matrix 802 Link to comment
