In Reply to: Why is the physical placement of NAS changing the sound??? posted by eduardoo on May 24, 2016 at 00:23:10:
It is perhaps not generally appreciated that many components in electronics are microphonic and pizoelectric. Components in your NAS use cheap capacitors and other chips that can be rather prone to such effects, as well as temperature variations. This is why high quality audio electronics are much more expensive than the convent garden computer system.
It may be that your attempt to lower operating temperature also had an effect.
