White noise and tweeters

[El_Duderino]

Just set up a Qnap 453 Mini today with exactly the set up you are going to try - works perfectly and no white noise at all. To be fair I have had the white noise problem before when I was running a mac system and with windows 7. Both times it happened when I was out and the noise had gone on for some time before I got back, never any problem with tweeter damage, I think it sounds a lot worse than it actually is (damage wise that is)

Interesting.  I had a similar setup on a 453-Pro with 16GB RAM running a Win10 virtual machine, ROON, and Devialet Air.  I thought all was good for about 2 weeks...until I started playing high resolution files more regularly.  Redbook resolution would play just fine indefinitely, but higher resolution FLAC files and DSD would result in a much higher frequency of dropouts and white noise.  I ended up getting an Intel NUC to run Win10 natively instead of as a virtual machine and this has resolved all issues.  I hope it works out better for you!
