Does the laptop running on a battery sound better then running in walwart?
Interesting to test.
I think we compared that at Charlie's as he was experimenting with the laptop running Linux, however I don't think we heard any, or an appreciable difference.
However, I've stopped saying *better/worse* trying to describe these differences. His current server allows for *spacial cues* that create the 3rd dimension I talked about earlier. The laptop, earlier servers, and dedicated renderer all sounded more veiled, and/or 2 dimensional in comparison. Some people may not care for the difference perceiving it as *excessive detail*, or as I mentioned earlier, many systems including mine, (2 way horn loaded) can't create the soundstage with the available information anyway. Because I'd heard his analogue source sound so 3 dimensional, it seemed logical it
could be like that on the digital side too.
Don't want people to think the other servers or renderer have crappy bass, or etched highs, etc. Don't know if I'm making this any clearer.
