Does Snakeoil let pc go to sleep, or let HD go to sleep

In fact, so far even my new cheap fanless PC (which installed with NAS version Snakeoil OS) scores 5-6 digits in cyclictest (very bad, right?), the sound is so much in comparing with my traditional Synology 216+ with 2 traditional WD Red label HDs.  The most significant difference is the sound is much 3D and a lot of improvement in treble, much stronger dynamic, secondly is the stage is much wider and deeper, the density is more solid, so much more live feeling, and then thirdly is details. 

Cyclictest wise it all depends I think.. For sure absolutely lowest isn't necessary better, as long as you get that music sound right - it's far more important.

E.g. that 3D sound stage is one of the most important aspects (and how wide/deep the sound stage is).. If you get that done right, and your ears are used to it - you'll instantly know if both speakers are out of phase, one of them has an inverted phase relative to the other, or left and right are swapped..

How hard it punches, and how naturally that punch falls off (harmonics)...

These things are far more important than latency (what cyclictest measures).

As up to this moment the outcome is very promising, besides I'd invest for better CL value ram (now I'm using CL17 and the best I can find is CL14), I wish Snakeoil can help a bit more when you have more time.  Thanks a lot for your great Snakkeoil OS, Agent Kith! 

HongKong is still a great place to shop for computers... Where I am (Perth Western Australia), they don't really carry a lot of stuffs. I had to order things from overseas, which takes 2-3 months to get here, and if they don't work and I have to order different parts - it'll be another 2-3 months... Six months in and I still don't the things I need for my second build...
