RE: WHY my external 1TB HD sounds better than NETWORK DRIVE??


Have you tried to compare this with the sound of your internal (boot) drive? I'd be interested to know if your observation (or anyone else's)is in accord with mine.

I have found that externally powered usb and firewire drives sound different depending on whehter the USB or FW power supply buses are disabled. I have also heard sonic changes depending on the make of the external drive housing. I use only 5V 2.5 in drives.

This is yet another example of the incorrect bits are bits doctrine. The right doctrine is bits + timing, however the latter is affected.
