Prefer Emmylou singing it though - one of her best.

Not an easy round - the clips seemed to change on me a few times as I listened to them...David Neel wrote:Here it is: N3050N-D2P vs N3160N-D3V. The newer board has been run in continuously for about 100 hours. Both have 8GB memory (although 4GB vs 8GB may be a moot point if Volumio is running in 32 bit - I haven't checked).

Earlier playground clips have now been deleted.

Oh, they were mixed up! That's what caused the confusion. I was in a rush and when I felt unsure on the second song - assuming they were in the same order - I didn't give it any more time but just voted a lean towards 1. In any case the differences were kind of difficult, so maybe both boards deserve a stamp of approval?David Neel wrote:Time to reveal that the N3160N-D3V was 1 in the first comparison but 2 in the second. So it's good to know that the 3160 is up there with the earlier boards. I've been going backwards and forwards between the two all week to try to decide which I preferred. The J3455 was not in the same league at all. In the room, I prefer the N3050N-D2P. Not by much, and possibly because it has more hours on it. So the 3160 will now be rebuilt as a NAS.
Many thanks to flojo, who has determined that Volumio cannot use more than 3.2GB of RAM - this was beyond my IT skills. This may save some of you a little money, as 4GB therefore seems to be sufficient. And so much for my thought after installing the second 4GB board that it sounded a bit better!

So you like the second one first, and the first one second, but not necessarily in that order? :)maffe wrote:After listening to the clips a few times I was think I might be totally off since I preferred #1.
Then I realised that my web browser opened the tabs on reverse order!
Spotted it first when I looked at the file name :D

Is this the black RME ADI-2 DAC with remote that costs about €1000?Sopper wrote:That makes 5 people voting for clip 2 and no one for clip 1
I’m glad you all confirmed my opinion as well
Clip 2 is the RME ADI-2 dac with slow filter.
Will post a 2nd set of clips later this week with different music, to check if the RME holds up.
