you have to have this
http://www.amazon.com/Zotac-ZBOX-CI320NANO-U-W2-nano-Plus-Windows/dp/B00M4OEPLA
Walmart is even cheaper! But can't get in in Europe (or Asia).
You have just discovered who is right. Those who say that settings make no difference to audio, or those who find that they do.
I'd also get rid of prefetch, hibernation, system restore, pagefile etc.

Hi and thanks a lot again.
I am perfectly fine with the X7. And i can confirm that a wrong setting in the BIOS was giving me scratches and drops in the sound and hiccups in the videos.
So my next weeks will be dedicated to learn more about the various parameters. To try to get the best out of it.I think that also Linux can be great but the lack of drivers support stops me. It is also not very demanding for HW i think.
Maybe it could even work on the X7 platform ?
And also it is amazing what Android (also Linux based) can do with the poor HW of some media player.This X7 is very nice indeed and stays silent and cold.
I feel it can be a very good streamer.
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,

Zotac CI1320 with 64 bit Bing from Amazon US. More powerful than Pipo -64G SSD 4GRam eSata/usb3 inputs. Around $280 delivered.
Hi and thanks a lot for the interesting suggestionFirst of all a question about Office 365 ... i have deleted it from my X7
But do you know maybe if they will charge automatically after one year ?
I would like very much to avoid this inconvenienceThen lately also with your valuable advice i have realized the impact on a pc performance of bios setting and OS.
I am not in high rez files so the power is usually not an issue.
At this point i have only some beliefs about what is better:
- a 64 bit OS
- Linux OS (i see the others too much loaded with features )
- SSD
This said i am presently completely fine with the X7 that has 32 bit Win 8.1 Bing and EMMC (i.e. no one of the feautures above mentioned).
So i think that in the end there are many alternative paths to sonic pleasure.
But if i should choose a system i have the strong feeling that Linux is the right choice.
We can have the best SW in the world, but if the OS or the Bios are not optimal it is a really bad start.
Moreover Linux comes with different version all interesting
- Daphile, Ubuntu Studio and even OpenElec that is unbelievably small.Anyway i cannot find the link to the " Zotac CI1320 with 64 bit Bing " you mention.
I have already a Zotac somewhere but with a fan ... these fans are my current nightmare. After trying a fanless pc there is no going back.
Like for SSD ... what an amazing discovery ... amazing !!!!
I think.
Kind regards,

no idea what MS charges for 365. It is not, in my case appropriate for
a low power music computer.
Hi and thanks for the link ... very nice little unit indeed.
About 365 i hope they will ask me before charge for it just that.
I will check that easily because 8.1 with Bing is going to become extremely popular. Maybe there is a trick that i do not see.
Like with Google ? they already know almost everything of me.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
