I can replicate your USB flash drive sound quality improvement experience

Hi Theo,

I can replicate your USB flash drive experience.

Playing a wave file in cPlay (44.1 -> 44.1, buffers: tiny, AWE allocated) of an USB Flash drive improves sound quality.
However, improvements are very subtle.
I had too do some careful A/B comparisons,
but sound quality improvements are also audible in my setup.
More space, more dept, more micro details, etc.

It gives the same type of sonic improvements as an SSD gives.
It gives a glance at what a small 8 Gb SSD did for sound quality in my setup.
Although using an SSD gave 20 times this type of sonic improvements.

Mark.

Some setup info:
- core speed: 600, Bus speed: 100, FSB: 400.
:-)) lowest possible bus speed setting in bios !
- Cruzer 2Gb USB flash drive
- 500 Gb Samsung spinpoint sata HDD
- USB flash drive in same separately powered USB bracket as wireless mouse/keyboard
- pico 160-xt on p24
- linear psu on p4
- USB bracket and Samsung HDD separately powered by pico PW-200-M
