Computer Audio Asylum

Not to mention the fan controller, which is active regardless of whether fan is on.

Any additional MB activity is harmful to sound quality - simple as that.

That is something you don't have to explain to people with experience - and what people without it (see this thread) will not understand, no matter how many pearls you cast before them.

THAT particular post is certainly a 'pearl'.

  For instance, comparing tweaked vs. untweaked setup, including that with fan versus fanless, with various adapters enabled versus disabled etc. - and by "you" I don't just mean you personally. Rather, the whole "nothing matters, as long as you own a Mac" camp.
  But, since you don't - we can't. Stock Macs, with their switching PS, fan, non-audio-related processes etc. surely make wonderful music - and so do iPods. The added benefits of all that wonderful-ness is that files pulled from local HD sound exactly the same as pulled from network, hi-rez Led Zeppelin downloads sound exactly the same as CD rips etc.
  And, if it continues to go the way it goes with that system (posted for everyone to see) and that hearing, Led Zeppelin will soon sound exactly as Deep Purple.

  Soon we'll need to shut down everything because everything in a computer adversely affects the music.
  
  Not sure why this thread was initiated at all. The OP's only motivation to post about the Mac is to stir up trouble as he has no first hand experience with them and no intention of helping anyone who owns one. It's pretty obvious what his real intentions are.
  
  First the fan is an issue and when it's shown that the fan is at ZERO rpm while playing music, some crackpot thinks the fan controller is a problem. Grasping at straws. What next?
  
  Based on endless paranoia from a few, it would appear that no PC, laptop, or Mac is capable of producing wonderful music unless built to their specification.... whatever that may be as they fail to post their systems in their profiles.
  
  Back to work while I enjoy my music.

    will be to turn the computer off.
