Experience with Mach2 Music Server?

Its the same on the touch press twice and all apps running in the background appears, now you can kill them and battery time is extended.
Fwiw batt time on IPad is way better than on a MBP.

My iPod Touch allows only one app to run at a time. It does not allow for multi tasking (having more than one app running at once).

In any case, the iPod Touch is terrible for using as a device to manipulate a remote computer using screen sharing or VNC. The screen is way too small and the constant scrolling, enlarging, shifting right and left of the screen and tapping is slow, annoying and cumbersome. So, battery life on the iPod Touch becomes a non-issue.

Update:

Got my 2010 Mac Mini yesterday (very nice built, I must say). Thanks to some very generous advices from people reading this thread, I did some OS X tweaks and installed the latest Pure Music version (set for purity, which means no DSP effects and no volume control enabled + device exclusive access, “Hog” mode, etc.).

I have 8GB mem on order and other tweaks to do but, so far, with my system and to my ears, my Toshiba Core i3/HM55/4GB + 1GB dedicated for ATI video laptop, with Win7 64bit + JRiver and ASIO4ALL is far superior to the Mac Mini with PM v1.74, sorry to say.

In both cases my highly hot-rodded M2tech hiFace was used (clocks and data path tweaks + ultra-low-noise MOSFET linear power). Please don’t get me wrong; the Mac sounds good, but it fatigues me over short period of time in comparison.

Of course, this is preliminary, so there is still hope, and still more to come, so stay tuned!

I will be also loading Win 7 (64bit) to the Mac Mini using bootcamp, so we can compare apples to apples. I am also thinking about “borrowing” some local San Francisco Bay Area Audiophile “golden ears” for a blind A-B testing. Volunteers are greatly appreciated, as always!

BTW, if someone here has experience with a better/purer sounding playback soft than PM, I’d be more than happy to try it too.

Best,

So any conclusions yet on Mac as a music server/transport running OSX or W7 vs. PC running W7?

Has no one compared the internal HDD vs replacing it with a SSD??
