RAM disk vs large Squeezelite buffer?

[koko6969koki]

Thank you for the fast answer! :)

You said "low buffer but enough RAM". How is this exactly working? 

My idea was/is to avoid disk activity as much as possible, since I have a SSD,
and I have read that some manufacturers (for example Innuos) are saying that SSDs are a source of some high frequency electrical noise,
that can pollute the signals and could be detrimental to the sound quality.
In their higher end products they do use SSDs, but they have separate power supplies, separating them from the rest of the electronics.

This was the reason that I liked the RAM disk idea.
And if the same thing could be accomplished with a large RAM based buffer, it could be even more elegant solution since there would be no need to manually add music to RAM disk before each play.

But, as I already have said, I have no clue how this Squeezelite buffer thing actually works, so I could be on the wrong trail. :)
I was hoping that with large buffer sizes, all the files will be loaded in RAM and the SSD will not be active during playback.

Regarding the latest firmware, I was postponing the update, since I'm using LMS and Squeezelite
and I have read in the "Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.9 (Blind Testing Update 9)" topic that there are some problems with LMS,
so I have decided to wait a little bit more and to do the upgrade after all the small bugs are ironed out.

If I decide to try the latest firmware, is it possible to go back to the 1.1.8 if I encounter some problems?
Do I just drag and drop the old .fw file in the SnakeOil window?
