Snakeoil OS Reference

Snakeoil OS - The Reference Audiophile OS

The concept of Snakeoil OS is based on one simple premise - designed by us, defined by you.

With Snakeoil OS you have full administrator access to tweak Snakeoil to your heart's contents. This is a double edged sword and the audio quality can go both ways - from sublime to shit. The upside is obvious, you can tailor Snakeoil OS to do what you want, exactly the way you like. Finally, you can listen to music, your way!
