Idealist Server builds and Software ongoing R&D
#1
In search for the best SQ without the compromise in CA, a small team here in Perth was formed. Each member was/is targeting a specific area of hardware and software in our CA journey, hence SnakeOil was came to live!

Here on with this thread; I hope to share with you guys near and far; our findings wrt what works and what not for those of interested diyer(s)!

Coming May 2016 - We will have a gtg here in Perth, shootout against Antipodes DX and the all mighty Aurender...! Watch this space....

Here are some photos of my recent Idealist Server Build. Will go in depth once I have the next timing opportunity..!

Update on my server again for the interim.
I look to compete over haul this server on another sonic performance once I get more free time and would be done by Christmas, hopefully! The objective is to perform better then the Aurrender W20 at $20k! Don't laugh - we had great success beat the Antipodes DX with our very basic server built as evident in our gtg posted here!

Recent acquisition has given me the opportunity to work on my Computer audio developments better. These speakers are amazingly honest and extremely revealing!

Very nice.. But why are the pictures smaller now? [Image: think.png] Prob better to use "Add image to post" button below if using web page, so that the pictures will be resized automatically.
