Ce face omul cu mana lui se cheama lucru manual

NAS – overview (1)

Suntem obisnuiti sa ne tinem datele (fisierele) pe acelasi computer (sistem) – DAS (direct attached storage). Pe langa avantaje (access rapid la date) aceasta abordare are principalul dezavantaj faptul ca daca dorim sa accesam informatiile de pe alt sistem nu o putem face direct. Acum mult timp, pana la inceputul anilor 2000, trebuia sa imi scriu dischete, apoi discuri zip si in sfarsit cd, dvd, stick-uri usb sau card-uri de memorie pt a muta datele de pe computerul de acasa, la serviciu era mai cool pt ca aveam retea BNC de 10Mb.

Buffalo settings

the default DPLL setting for BII should work fine – even for synch mode – but optimally you would set the DPLL to max and then turn off the ASRC (what they call the Jitter Eliminator) as it will be doing precisely nothing useful.

oh yes, the Cronus uses very cryptic names for this signals…
DCK – DSD data clock or I2S bitclock
D1 – DSD data1 or I2S wordclock/leftrightclock
D2 – DSD data 2 or I2S dataline

CPU Speedstep/Throttling vs Sound Quality

Am vazut ca uneori incercarile de a face un computer dedicat ca sursa, pt un lant audio mai acatarii, au esuat, oamenii preferand a se intoarce catre vechile computere care sunau mai bine.

Din punct de vedere logic suna oarecum ciudat, computerele noi au mai multa putere de calcul, mai multa memorie, un sistem de operare mai bun (de cele mai multe ori pe 64 de biti pt a beneficia de mai mult de 4 GB de memorie), versiuni mai noi ale playerelor etc … Read More →
