One of the better if not best sounding rooms at the 2015 California Audio Show and notice what's on the third shelf down?
It's a stock Acer laptop sitting on isolation pucks with just an after market PS (so as not to introduce noise in the rest of the system).

The Bricasti is a wonderful sounding DAC-even with a laptop :)
Even using an external linear power supply for the laptop doesn't stop the computer from contaminating the AC that feeds the other components. A good filter like Shunyata builds would be more helpful in my opinion.
are on the AC lines at a hotel during a show! =:-0
So, a good aftermarket power supply does more for sound quality than an "optimized" computer does?
But I heard Brian Zolner's system at two shows last year playing DSD files from a ACER? laptop pictured in the above post(San Francisco and Denver) and it was a GREAT sounding system.
His claim was not mods to the laptop except the external supply and the footers.
Software? I have no idea but he was controlling the laptop from his phone
I'll ask if I see him at RMAF later this year.
But what to expect from MEGA-BUCK speakers and amps plus his very expensive gold plated DAC?
Aah. You've been on a show. Great. Obviously you learned a lot.
Thx for letting us know.
I even got married at CES/T.H.E. in 2007. =:-0
Oh, and about a half dozen MEDICA at your local Messe as well!
Next time you're at Medica.
You're invited to a private audio show. ;) It's just 10 minutes from the DUS airport.
Lived in the 'Rhineland' with a view on the 'Siebengebirge' in the 90's. Wife worked at the 'Uni' clinic in Dusseldorf. Still have friends in the 'Neandertal'.
