432 EVO

I agree with david_ten that pf needs to have someone else review the 432 or have Juan C. Ayllon clarify what his opinion of the 432 is. Is it this (from the conclusion):

The 432 EVO High End Music Server is a remarkable player, making good on its promise to deliver a warmer, more pleasant listening experience via its 432 Hz tuning. It definitely takes the edge off digital files and, if you’re jonesing for vinyl playback but don’t have the bucks or inclination to purchase a good one (or a decent cartridge and phono stage preamplifier, for that matter), this might be the way to go; you get the convenience of digital with a lion’s share of vinyl’s warmth.

or this (from Facebook):

Save for the tuning and DSP, the Intel NUC with a great DAC like the Yggie is quite competitive.

Although, the Facebook post does say, "save for the tuning and DSP", well aren’t the tuning and DSP major functions of the 432? What does their inclusion in the 432 do to the comparison with the Intel NUC?

@tomcy6 : I asked Juan that question on Positive Feedback website, under comments. It's still waiting to be approved. Hopefully it will show up there soon, and Juan can shed some light on this

Thanks @thyname.  I hope he clears his thoughts up.

if you are not using the dedicated usb output ofthe Evo you are not going to be experiencing the evos sound the standard board connected usb ports do not have any of the technology that is designed into the server

the usb card is powered independtly

the usb on the board is for periperals like a keyboard or usb hd only

no special tuning no additional filtering basicaly you are taking away everything that the designer put in to elevate the servers performance

when used through its corect usb port it sounds amazing 

it will sound like any other decent device but in no way exceptional through the standard usb ports
