I've just recently found this forum and already found it very useful. For years I've been running an enterprise server for video. Here's what it is:
Anyway, I recently (and possibly stupidly) got a Lumin U1 mini. It seems to do a pretty good job of accessing the content. I'm now planning to rip a lot of my CD's that aren't available on Qobuz etc. Then the server would be the source for this content. So the question is..... Is this a reasonable setup for audio use? I've been spooked on other forums by all the hand-waving about power supply noise, gotta have a mega-bucks dedicated computer, blah blah blah. so what's the verdict? Thanks and cheers,
- Server is an HP DL385 G7: 2x Opteron 6174 (2.2Gb, 24 cores) running Win10 "pro workstation"
- 128Gb RAM,
- HD's comprise 2 volumes: The OS runs on 15k SAS drives (raid 10). Media resides on 4x 5Tb SATA drives, raid 10, so 10Tb total.
- Yes, it's somewhat noisy. But it sits in my nice cool laundry room and can't be heard. And I just run it as needed, not the usual 24/7.
