Update:
My eSATA enclosure and additional battery arrived.
Sounds incredible!
just one hiccup... Somehow, Mubox did not mount the sata disk initially... It was recognised under /dev/sda1 so I just created a folder /media/ata1 and mounted it there. Running an "update" command, and a local cache update on MPaD brought all my files. This is with my "very" limited linux skills so I am open to any suggestions as to how to accomplish this easily...
I will see if things will burn in further. But the detail and musicality is just scary.
I initially powered both the disk and Cubox from the same battery. Running them from separate batteries further improves the sound.
And, yes, using a USB drive definitely degragates the sound in the form of mostly unstable soundstage, less clarity and harshness... All is gone with the eSATA disk. Missing a little on the bass depth currently.
Will report back as I play around with things...
Cheers
