RE: The Art Of Guessing

I've been using a dedicated Mac Mini (battery powered) as my music server for quite some time. As I'm currently using the USB input on my dac, I like having the music files on external firewire drives. I have used Amarra, JRiver for Mac and Audirvana as playback software.

A few months ago I installed Windows Server 2012 on my bootcamp partition, along with Audiophile Optimizer. Using JRiver (I've tried JPlay, but didn't here a huge difference) as the playback software, I prefer this setup compared to any of the software playback on the Mac partition. Frankly I thought there was considerable improvement just with WS Server 2012 as the OS (again with JRiver); when I added Audiophile Optimizer it was a no brainer for me as this was the best in my setup.
