| Sound drops out for split second every few minutes..... @gdnrbob - It occurred with local files also so I don't think it was network related. After the Win8 clean install, the problem stopped. I still had high latency but no more dropouts. I'm thinking that the old laptop just wasn't happy with Win1... | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? Ayre Codex.I was thinking of the UpTone Audio ISO REGEN because it does a few things. | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? I just ordered the Dell Inspiron 5000. $600. Thanks for the help!Now looking for a USB reclocker to add to it. Also considering Audiophile Optimizer and Fidelizer. | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? Never noticed any problems. Just wanted confirmation I’m not missing something.What do you use to avoid Windows audio mixer? | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? Doing more research and I'm reading some people saying that laptop sound can't compete with a dedicated streamer/network player. I don't understand how this could be - they're all computers, right? | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? @djones51 - That SanDisk card is sweet! An excellent solution. I assume the throughput would be adequate... I see there's a 14" model too. This might just be the ticket! Cheaper than a dedicated streamer and able to do more. The only downside is ... | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? Do you think an i3 with only 8GB of ram is enough? Also, I have about 100GB of FLACs. I could connect an external drive but that would take away one of the few USB ports. Hmmm. | |
| Network player with Chromecast built in? @johnhc- what's your experience been with casting Deezer on it? I've been reading that even Deezer admits they didn't implement it well and it has issues. If it worked well that would be a great solution. | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? A lot of these new laptops don't have a USB port. What the !?!? | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? @djones51 - Yep. That makes sense. If I can't get it to behave with Win8 that's what I'm going to do. Bummer that laptops don't have SPDIF or Toslink outs.... :-) @fuzztone - I'm not sure a streamer will "blow away" any computer sound. Where's ... | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? @erik_squires - I was using a Raspberry Pi 4 for a while but I couldn't do Deezer or Amazon HD without using Squeezebox and that just didn't look ideal. | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? @djones51 - Only streaming and playing local FLACs. That's it. | |
| Sound drops out for split second every few minutes..... Talked Keetakawee and installed Fidelizer. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Also tried different USB cable. Instead of throwing the laptop out the window I did a clean install of Windows 8. Maybe the laptop isn't happy with Win10. Still in the p... | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? @erik_squires - I like the idea of a Linux system but I'm not a fan of Roon. If it could play all of the other services including Audirvana and Deezer, I'd be on board for that. | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? @gdnrbob - >I'll try changing the USB cable. >No problems with optical but optical isn't coming from the laptop. No optical out to test on the laptop.>Don't think it's a router issue because it happens when I play local files. I'm going... |
