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

No.. They're disabled, as we find having these features disabled gives better sound.

On the downside, this means you can't really run Snakeoil OS on a laptop on battery for long as everything is running full steam - Even the CPU is not throttled to save power (FreqStep).

I can always create a kernel to allow for this though, you will also need to enable ACPI in the BIOS... Folks, put your comments here if you want this feature so I can gauge interest.

Ic. Thanks a lot, Agent Kith.  I think, for the NAS version, that will be great if SnakeOil don't mind to enable EIST and let the HD 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. 

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!
