Playing music off a RAM disk, what are your impressions?

Do you have any tracks to suggest? I am looking for something that I can easily A/B.
Yes, EtherRegen is interesting and caused lots of controversy e.g. huge fight on Audiophile style, smaller fight on SNA.  Many people still say a switch is a switch...

I use Gjeilo: North Country II which you can download from
http://www.2l.no/hires/
This track is quiet at the beginning (need to up volume). My favourite test track because the piano is very hard to get right, especially with the timbre and decay of the piano notes.
The other track that you can use is Arnesen, Magnificat (one of my favourite albums, and excellent multi channel reproduction)
2 other tracks that I use are on Tidal.  Diana Krall: My Love, finger snap at beginning, double bass.  Chesky Ultimate Demo Disc Vol 2: Angel of Harlem to test presence, sound stage, voice   Please ignore, cannot use Ram Disk with Tidal!!

On one hand I'm revamping my network (decided to go full Unifi now), and on the other, work is really draining all the energy I have. Given the circumstances, I guess I shouldn't complain as lots of people have lost their jobs. But year 2020 is a horrible year. It's almost certainly a write off year. Sad

Hopefully I will get the balance right again.. Need to get the new 1.2.0 ISO out, need to get a new IMG for the 8GB model of RPi (64 bit OS finally!)... The website also needs a software update. The TODO list is growing... Sad

Don't be too hard on your self. The Covid-19 has thrown many people off kilter and there are many people who have not done much in that time period other than watch with horror what has enfolded.  At least you guys in Perth can start leading more normal lives.  We in VIC are the leper colony!   Big Grin

Looking forward to getting 1.2.0.  I am still stuck on 16.04, my Ubuntu upgrade never worked; I could manually upgrade but saw no compelling need.
