i am curious to know what this wavelength cosecant v3 is and whats so good about it. i couldnt find too much information that made sence to me when i googled it

[quote user="ace168516"]I can't believe so many people are using raid 0 for music storage. File serving does not require a lot of read or write speed. If one drive goes, the entire array goes. I know RAID 1 has the issue of losing 50% of capacity, but RAID 5 is nice with n-1 capacity. If you do not have backups of your music, even just 3 seperate hard drive would be better because if one drive fails you only lose what is on that one drive, not all 3. I know if I ripped several terabytes

EAC here too, its awesome

[quote user="jdotsu"] I built a server that has 2TB of data storage in a raid 0 configuration for about $600. That is plenty of music storage for me. [/quote]the wife just bought me 3TB for my new flac collection... 3 RE3 western digitals raid 0 shes a keeper

[quote user="oldtimer"] [quote user="MistaChy"] [quote user="oldtimer"] What I want to know is fully lossless from what? An already compromised source? Is it just a way to do the same thing we all do except easier once you have it set up? [/quote]what source do you feel is compromised?[/quote] If all you are getting is lossless from an already over compressed cd then i am not impressed. Sure its convenient, just like cd's are more convenient than lp's. But listening

FLAC files seem like they have a much stronger signal and play noticably lounder than my 320bit MP3 music

[quote user="Rudy81"] Most excellent. I set my stuff up a few years ago and it was not 'easy'. It was fun, but not easy. Glad they are moving to supply software and hardware for the audio enthusiast. You should not have any problems playing DD and DTS files if all is well. [/quote]correct, i play files through WinDVD and PowerDVD and i use virtual clone drive for my ISO files, and I get full DTS and DD surround sound... but i dont get trueHD or DTS: Master. that sucks the only difficulty

[quote user="Rudy81"] Although I am not familiar with your audio card, unless you have gone to some trouble to set it up correctly it is unlikely you are getting lossless audio. The easiest way to test it is this. While playing a song, go to your control panel and have windows play any of its sounds. If you can hear the music as well as the windows .wav file (both at the same time), you are hearing the result of the windows Kmixer re-sampling ALL the audio. [/quote] no, i can not play anything
