Hi guys.
I am currently using windows server/audiophile optimiser/jplay with direct ethernet connection (static ip, no switch) with Audioquest Vodka ethernet cable.
Way better than my old mac mini / Audirvana setup.
There are many factors affecting the sound quality, like power (my notebook sounds considerably better when run on batteries), file type used ( wav or uncompressed flac much better than compressed flac) or even the storage medium used (files not on system disk, preferably on some solid state) so make your comparisons taking these on account.
Cheers...
