Does RAID impact sound quality?

In v0.3, Art of Building Computer Transports it says:
"Hardware RAID setup can be challenging but is highly recommended. Improvements are audible as IDE overheads are eliminated."

That's a pretty compelling statement, and a good excuse to set up some RAID drives again! However the latest recommended motherboard Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L does not natively support RAID.

So my question is- all things being equal, does the Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L motherboard without RAID sound better than the prior recommended BIOSTAR motherboard in a RAID configuration?

I have been following the thread for over a year now and am ready to make the leap! Thanks to all for sharing their stories. //Craig
