RE: memory timings -showstopping ?

Please share your thoughts !

The topic has already been aired at length without firm conclusions being drawn.

I don't want to get into another polemic with the hard-core bits-is-bits mob but some good points (and some pretty dumb ones) were made on these two threads, one of which you started.

There's other relevant posts, I'm sure. My advice FWIW would be to start with (1) an archive search and (2) as low a latency device as your motherboard supports (making sure it's a good make).

You can them experiment with timings if you wish. If your motherboard supports various BIOS settings (as e.g. the Gigabyte boards do), recovering from over-optimistic tweaking is easy.

I'm convinced that RAM quality and settings do affect sound quality (for non-controversial engineering reasons) but it can be a hit-and-miss business finding what's best.
