Unusual and very weird .. this NVMe SSD specifically designed for audiophiles

Vinylly a solution at last!
But why no proper RGB shielding..

 

Interesting woodwork this article is about, some strange creatures have come out of it....

 

Hmm I think this baby has potential. It kinda follows that if they had added magnets to ironize the signal path then that would perfectly correct antialiasing.
Yeah, I will buyx2

 

I can't imagine living in your world where CRC isn't a thing and files are just degrading everywhere. I recently opened my high school history project from 2009 in MS Word but I couldn't read it because the letters had noise and lower dynamics. Should have stored it on a filtered SSD I guess.

 

They have been drooling over this silly thing here for over 6 months,

NVMe SSD designed for audiophiles - Disk Storage / Music Library Storage - Audiophile Style

 

a victimless crime.
a fool parted from his money and a seller both end up happier. seller because obvious. and a fool truly believes that he has gotten better sound, so indeed he has.

 

Listened to this countless times as a teenager, on a record player that still had 78 on the speed selector.

 

Hold on there a minute me good matey old chum.

A scratched CD can result in loss of data, let's say corruption.

Streaming music over the Internet does not make poor quality. You are being mistaken with compression, which is not the same as storage type. Compression is to reduce storage consumption and bandwidth costs. Streaming true to source FLAC file from your NAS, local storage HDD/SSD, or a penguin USB flash drive would all result in the same quality, unless the data is corrupted.

 

I don't understand the purpose of this thing.

 

This is so obviously a bullshit product that some engineer cooked up to express the ignorance of some folks in the audiophile community.

Ignorance can be taught. And we are all ignorant of some aspect of the world around us.

Congrats on earning at least +1 to your lifetime troll-post count since you did seem to at least trigger a few folks on your second ever post on the site on such an important and critically debated topic.

 

I am a bit dubitative as the M2 SSD send lot less "noise" on the board than a GPU board as an exemple...
Also board maker have improved a lot their build as they were ****ed too with this problem some years ago.
And external quality PSU per things is the basis to kill the unwanted noise.

But:
If you are audiophile your pre-pre Amp, pre Amp, Amp and DAC are external and you already have good cable and instalation (mean from electricity distributor panel to your equipement separated from house (using furutech wire as an exemple), from each equipement, and from amp to speaker...
(yes it was really expensive, but it is day and night compared to my previous install)
Also audio specialised lan cable enhance restitution compared to i would said 5E or 6 that you keep found in 99% of the house.

So the main question is: Do you really need?
Only blind test can awnser that...

 

There is lot more stupid one on e-tailer... lol it's xmas.

 

Waste of cash, pure an simple.

 

Despite i am more analogic, i use also numeric (CD and online) and there is some "parasite noise" that reach the DAC and make the rendering less precise.
Most of the time it is due to poor component used.
About this product, it is what make me dubitative, i use low cost M2 with mini usb external box for my car, bicycle and trecking (less expensive when a rock fall on it, when it slip outside and a car splat it, or so... ): i never had this kind of issue that make me need this kind of SSD

 

That post is quite funny, the poster writes:

• CNC copper heatsink

it will come with copper heatsink in future production. however the current test samples does not come with heatsinks and does not affect performance or operation.

Why the hell would anyone CNC a heatsink and mount it onto the SSD, if it does not effect the performance or operation?
Just wasting money to make it more shiny in peoples eyes maybe.

That diagram with sound character, Cold - Warm, generally you want neutral, warm or cold is changing the sound away from the original, but the people who made the diagram though warm was best, so they gave it a high number.

It is also a bit funny that the capacitors are 16 volt when the drive runs on 3.3v, they could have saved some money or slimmed down the size of them with 4.5v - 6.5v, but i guess they could not find shiny gold ones in that size.

 

Snakeoil removes those parasites good and proper.

 

lol

 

You know I think you might really be onto something there. Modern technology can only do so much, how long until we start looking at the limitations of our own ears as the problem that needs solving for TRUE audio fidelity?

 

Damn, gotta get me some of that unicorn fur...

 

I will say... that i can almost see this making at least somewhat of a difference, maybe, in audio quality...... and that's a GIANT maybe.

But i have to laugh. All the mention of "snake oil" and such when it comes to all the stupid crap companies have put out for "audiophile-grade" this and that. But.... not one person mentioned Monster and their gold-plated SPDIF cable?
