Hello everyone, bierfeldt, commsysman. Been gone too long.
I currently have an older Dell laptop with iTunes (not married to it) feeding an NAD M51 via USB, but unfortunately the laptop hard drive is full. Would purchasing an external hard drive and JRiver be a smart move? I dont have $3k for the entry level Aurender stuff let alone $20k for the W20. But I'm also aware that my Dell is probably pumping all kinds of electronic noise into my DAC along with the signal it's passing along, and I'd like to mitigate that. Any thoughts/suggestions? Any hard drive brands to look for or avoid? Basically I'm looking to improve my source without adding to my mortgage. If this post should be in the Computer Audio department let me know. Thanks.
