RE: Please post your experiences with music stored on a hard drive

I liked my SB III and upgraded the crappy wall wart with a nice regulated linear power supply. I used EAC and stored the files as FLAC's. I streamed wirelessly and never had any network issues or dropouts etc.

The sound was better than when I played CD's via a transport to the same DAC. Then that HD failed after a year in that old PC well before I bought a USB RAID w/ enough storage for most of my discs. I had only loaded a couple hundred discs and kind of hated doing that.

When I went back to my transport it was pretty bad. BUT that was with a plain old power cord. I bought two cryo'ed plugs and dH labs power wire ad made a power cord and used better isolation than before when using the same CD transport.

Now this setup has the best sound ever for me via digital. I must admit I do miss the ease of a music server in that you have all your music via a remote.
