Best way to run Snakeoil?

[hkphantomgtr]

Hi,

I wanted to try out snakeoil. A couple of newbie questions plese:

1. Anyone managed to run snakeoil in a virtual machine in a Synology NAS? If so, is the sound quality impacted at all?

2. I see that snakeoil is also available for the Raspberry PI. Running on the PI vs running on a PC - which has the better sound quality?

Thanks

It really depends on what that PC is.  Tweaked CMOS for music playback already makes a undeniable audio improvement in the same PC.  Changing the PC to an fanless PC, powering it with a LPS will make a very huge difference in sound, too.  Replacing the RAM with lower latency PC and installing dual rows of ram according to the dual channels, and etc....... will produce sound quality, in terms of increased details, wider and deeper sound stage, more substance in texture....... 

Have fun.
