Different hard drives sound different.

The post you cherry picked that line you quoted was about an OS problem causing digital glitches. And you decided to twist that into fitting your own beliefs and bias about digital audio.

Ironically a digital voodoo product, the Schiit Wyrd, fixed the issues that person was having. Weird.

 

so?

 

Your reply was essentially telling the person you quoted that digital glitches and pops are a psychological issue. Those sorts of digital glitches happen to be a very real issue that affects many computer based digital audio setups. They're a very real problem. Nothing imaginary about them and those problems aren't due to misunderstanding how digital audio works.

 

Maybe it isn't such a voodoo product after all. Wasn't the DAC. Wasn't the drive. I figured the Mini was hosed or some sort of USB glitch. Couldn't find an optical cable handy but a Wyrd was. So I hooked it up. Problem gone. Hell, maybe it will come back. We shall see.

 

The absolute sound magazine is about audio woo and voodoo, and most of their reviewers live on another planet, this claim is just one example of it.

 

Foo in hi-fi? Seriously...?

 

It's not that you're wrong, it's that we're in a thread about different hard drives sounding different. Context is key. I don't think anybody is suggesting that everything in digital audio is totally smooth sailing, its more that the waters have been so muddied by nonsense.

 

Yeah. There is a slight price difference though between 2 TB on HDD and SSD....
But I concur, SSD if you're rig is anything decent is the way to go.

 

" Always " is usually proved wrong.

 

What resonance have these "High Fidelity RAM" for PC? Where to buy?
