Wolf Audio music servers

@lwin 

Thanks for sharing your setup, the path to your Wolf server and your findings.

Did you consider any other servers as you researched them prior to going forward with the Wolf? If you did, what led you to choose the Wolf over them?

Also, what connection are you using from the Wolf to your PS Audio DAC?

Hi David-Ten: Yes I did consider other servers but the clincher for me was the level of hands on service that Wolf Audio promised and delivered.I wanted someone who would be available to help me get over any of the inevitable bumps in the road. You just can't beat one on one service especially when you are talking to the person who built your server.
 For connection to my dac I am using a split Lightspeed usb cable. I also have the Bridge II on my PS Audio DSD dac and I use that connection   when I want to listen to MQA files. 

@lwin  +1   Thanks.

It would be nice if someone with technical chops would explain how a dedicated music server can sound better then a computer that is also used for music.I heard a very distinct improvement and would like to know why and how this came about.

Iwin....   One reason for better sound can be that it is set up to shut down programs that run in Windows in the background that can introduce noise. Another, is the internal cabling on most computers need to be upgraded for the best audio...  But, I am sure Wolf-audio has insight in various ways.   Possibly adding special shielding within the server itself to further drop any noise.
My question for you is...  Can this server be used also for normal web surfing and doing business as usual on the web?
