So, if I want to enjoy the best sound quality from Snakeoil, it seems that I just should hang on to Ubuntu 16.04 as long as I can,

...and wait for the new custom realtime kernel from @agent_kith Smile

I'm doing it the other way round - any new music in my collection is put on my external drives first, and only then it is copied to my Snakeoil NUC's SSD.

This way it is impossible to forget to backup.
