Thanks Doggiehowser,
Reinstall the OS on a clean new partition preferably on an SSD 04-09-13: Doggiehowser
I know SSD is Solid State Drive. What's a clean new partition?
If you are using a USB-SPDIF device like the Audiophileo, store the music on Network Server with a wired connection or use a Firewire/Thunderbolt external HDD (not USB).
I use the Audiophilleo2. What's a Network Server? Which ones are good? I think I've seen a Thunderbolt (do you mean, don't get a Thunderbolt with USB capability?
Are you saying ethernet? I use WiFi now but have considered running an ehthernet cable into the room where the Macbook Pro is located. You're saying to run ethernet to the Network Server rather than the Macbook?
Obviously I don't know the meaning of some of the jargon.
