Hi Klaus, how perform your 320 musically wise?

Unfortunately I have to confirm that my Intel 320 160GB is not good as my ES.2 and frankly I do not understand why. If the Intel 320 isn't a lot better than the ES.2, then there is something wrong with the 320! Are you sure it is a 320? Check if the BIOS is reporting that it's a 320. If it's a Inte...

I don't think the SSD can easily be ruined. Any particular reason why not? I am thinking of electrostatic discharge when handling it. Once unplugged, it could very well be sensitive. And the result could affect musical performance without the unit malfunctioning (yet). Yes Fredrik, is the kind of t...

Unfortunately I have to confirm that my Intel 320 160GB is not good as my ES.2 and frankly I do not understand why. Because I trust the opinion of Linnofil and Music Lover about the superiority of the Intel 320 compared to Seagate enterprise hdd, makes me think that my model is not in perfect condi...

Ok, crucial moment, time to try the Intel 320 ssd! First impression is has not been particularly positive, at least not what I expected compared to the ES .2 There is more detail and a general laid back presentation but overall I feel more comfortable with the ES.2. Intel 320 seems lack something, ...

Good test, I wonder how Kingston 4GB DDR3 PC10600 1333MHz (KTH9600B/4G) (HP), that Nicolav and I rate highly, relates with your RAM's. Any forum reader that can speculate about the reason why some RAM's are better. Do they have anything in common? And the opposite, have the bad ones anything in com...

Results of my tests (All done with a single 4GB RAM stick in the black (best) outer RAM socket.): 1: Best was the well (1 year) burned in "Corsair CL9 1600Mhz VENGEANCE LP (CML8GX3M2A1600C9B)" 2: Second best was the brand new "Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB DDR3 PC-12800 1600MHz CL9 XMP (KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8...

I have now bought some RAM for testing. My local store didn't have the same RAM as Nicolav uses, but I decided to try some other Kingston RAM, Kingston ValueRAM 4GB DDR3 1333MHz Non-ECC CL9 DIMM (KVR1333D3N9/4G) they only had one in stock, so I bought a single 4 GB.  I also bought 8GB (2x4GB) of, K...

Some more test on RAM. With one bank, white socket is a little better (maybe because mechanically built better?) than blue. One Kingston bank is a bit better than other. One interesting thing I found is that both socked used is better than only one used. Non sure if difference is due to the more ram...

Asus recommends to use the blue socket if only 1 socket is used. But this is based on computer design criteria, of course.

I was not aware of this, thanks for the info!
In any case I will test both sockets.

Swapped again Kingston in place of A-data. Kngston are the clear WINNER! I can now say with certainty that this ram reaches the LSNAS musical performances unthinkable for a business NAS and allows you to get the best of the best from our DS. LSNAS become even more Super! This is the kind of differen...

Probably we have to consider running in of the A-data, despite the fresh Kingston played very well from the start. Yes, I think that is advisable. But it still looks like you are on to something good! Today A-Data seems a little better, perhaps the break in has started to have a positive effect, bu...

Uninstalled all programs including feature windows: there was a further improvement. What is "feature windows"? Where there any special SW that did a bigger difference than the others"? I ask because I have a feeling that Linn Konfig (with MS .net) didn't do my NAS any god. The NAS got worse the sa...

Last night I put the A-Data 2x4 GB 1600MHZ Game Series in place of my Kingston 2x KtH9600B/4G 1333 mhz. To my surprise, my Kingston wins hands down! Probably we have to consider running in of the A-data, despite the fresh Kingston played very well from the start. A-data with the LS NAS is less "supe...

2 short questions: - According to the QVL of the DIMMs, the A-Data requires a voltage higher than 1.5 V. Later in the manual there is a warning not to adjust it above 1.65 V. To what value did you adjust it? - If you do nothing, the CPU Q-Fan control is enabled (= default). Did you switch that off?...

Try to replace MSE with avg free and do a clean install of windows without updates. THIS would be an interesting test! Looking forward reading your conclusion. But I suggest if time permits changing only one parameter at the time: 1/ make a clean install of windows without updates and without MSE. ...

sound has a tendency to always be excessively shine. Not sure I follow you. Do you mean that the sound is bright? - Lacking bass but mid and treble ok OR - Bass and mid ok but exaggerated treble Building my LS NAS, the sound character was same as with my NV+/SSD but when I upgraded the PSU (from th...

These days listening LSNAS I noticed that, while appreciating its qualities strictly musical, sound has a tendency to always be excessively shine. Not that this affects his musicality but I have the impression that it is excessive and can get tired in the long run. Have you also found the same thing...

Saturday, I tried the psu Seasonic of Paolo in place of my Corsair. During the first hour the Seasonic sounded really bad. The next few hours he started to play at the same level of my Corsair. Obviously, I was expecting more from this power supply! :) Netx day, late night the Seasonic (and all the ...
