Good news! A month ago SOTM audio released their first audiophile motherboard!
This video is very helpful. There are no links on the new website. I'd like to know your software optimization and processing. Thank you
I don’t know, I think I’ll just get an Auralic Aries after looking at the prices of the JCAT parts.
You're better off using an old computer like a Windows 2000 , the older processors produce less noise then a modern processor would. I'm not sure about the operating system how it copes with streaming but you could put Linux on it
I have found the opposite to be true John tbh and newer cpu allows for newer other things which has resulted in a better end result for me
@@PursuitPerfectSystem I'm not sure what the benefit is of the new CPUs your talking about but ok
@@johnsweda2999 more efficient platform overall larger buffervin cpu more cores so more isolation of duties within windows and it just seems to give better results with how I use windows with jplay and the optimizations I run. If your doing it a different way maybe its better hard to say. I can only report on the experience I have had
Merry Christmas from Minnesota, I definitely appreciate your workmanship - this has been on my DIY list for a while
Merry Christmas to you too :)
Yes, Merry Christmas.
Why don"t you use a Linux-based audio dedicated distribution like Daphile instead of a Windows based solution ? Nice projet by the way.
I can run everything I want in windows and know how to use it most importantly :)
@@PursuitPerfectSystem as long as it satisfies you ! :)
@@fredericdondin haha :) windows sucks for audio but can be made better but turning most of it off
@@PursuitPerfectSystem ,
Let yourself know Daphile and you will certainly be impressed and will hardly use other options.
You can install it in "dualbbot" allowing you to use windows natively as you always have.
Congratulations on the wonderful work on this channel.
Hey Terry , it's Marc with the Ref'5 from Montreal Canada , i have a bryston BDP-3 digital player/streamer and it's a very good dedicated player with a good power supply built-in , only thing i'm wonderring is that my SSD Drive is connected internaly in the unit on the mainboard of the BDP-3 with a small SATA cable that's on the board , it's a very short one like 3 inches max. Was wondering if a JCAT Sata cable with really make a small difference in SQ considering the unit is already in the good price range quality. thanks for your input and merry christmas to you my friend
Hard to say Marc, I dont know - maybe ask Marcin from JCAT to see if he has any customers who have done similar. Thanks
Your link to the article is broken
Sorry i am not up to this level of PC but I am building a dedicated PC for music. So a music "server" just stores music like a NAS and pushes it out to other devices to play, but yours is a server AND player since it stores and plays off the same machine?? What software besides the Win Server OS do you run to output the music and control it?? Mine plans to be headless and not attached to a monitor or TV. Thanks!
I use JPLAY Femto as my music player and library manager, then various different windows optimisations to help turn windows from sounding awful into decent. I have written an article on my website with all this listed on www.pursuitperfectsystem.com/building-the-ultimate-audio-music-server-again.html
@@PursuitPerfectSystem how does this work headless???
Have been trying to buy a JCat power supply for a while now, but whenever I visit their site it's never in stock. Very frustrating...
the demand for them is so extreme they are always sold out. I dont know if I had anything to do with that possibly. Hang in there should be some news early next year
What's the total cost of the server
Keep up the good work
nuc is a good choice too.
it not suitable for what I need as it doeent have any pcie sockets it's for a different kind of end result project :)
Hi, I had a look, but the link is broken and I can't find your music server information on your website. I was wondering if you had tried low latency operating systems like Audiophile Linux or Ubuntu Studio Linux, and if so, if you had tried various RAM media players life wtfplay?
Yeah sorry it was all on my old website and I didn't port it across because computer tech moves so fast a lot of the "mainstrream" products I used are absolute now so it wouldn't be the "best" advice now anyway. If your keen to know best advise build suggestion visit the JPLAY forum there are lots of very active computer audio enthusiast on there that are super help[ful and always tinkering. I learnt 99% of stuff from there especially at first.
Why is this still up, when the link to the how-to details no longer works?
I had a new website built - sadly that all got lost
Try this switch Uptone Etherregen. You’ll be amazed.
I hadn't heard of that product cheers for the reco
Definitely have a listen, seriously it like the sotm switch but at less then half the price. Let me know what you think.
@@PursuitPerfectSystem Definitely worth checking out Tezza. Delighted with what it's brought to my system.
hi is it possible to have somthing like this for music production? free up some dsp
There are no links on the website????!!!!
That was on my old website sorry it would be largely out of date now best to look on the JPLAY forum for current best audio pc building advice
2:28 - When you lose your operating system don't you just reach for your backup? This is the C21st where hard drives and online backups are dirt cheap...
I kept meaning to clone the OS drive but never did - not the end of the world good excuse to get up to date
Pursuit Perfect System happened once to me as well, but never twice because of copious backups.
Is all this still up to date?
Unfortunately not really just some of it
@@PursuitPerfectSystem will you be making one?
@@carlos_mann I am still using the computer on the video so probably not, I would visit the JPlay forum and see what people are doing there with newer builds as the guys on there know their stuff
You don't clone your hard drives? What's wrong with you?
Tel! please do us a budget music server build - maybe £500. Ta!!
To be honest this is not a project I will be doing, its of no use to me to build a budget music server and I dont think I could do a good one for that money. I think at this budget your better off buying maybe a raspberry pi or something like that, building a high quality music server is not cheap its expensive to do its just one of those things sadly
@@PursuitPerfectSystem no problem! Thanks for the reply Tel. :)
@@bigblueocean no worries man and sorry I can't do it for you I can't justify it the money and time but there might be info out there to help I just don't know it myself
