Which Linux kernel and audiophile player?

74.93.186.177

Posted by jdruley on February 5, 2007 at 10:51:50

Recently built a fanless ITX machine and am happy with its simplicity and lack of moving parts. Have tried Windows and Foobar (somewhat difficult to set up with Asio and trying to get it to look good) and Damn Small Linux but it seemed to run slow and the attached media player software didn't seem very audiophile. I am looking for a streamlined Linux operating system that runs a media player with the lowest possible latency. The operating system will be in RAM and the wav. files will be on a USB stick. The output is to a USB dac. Seems like a simple goal but I haven't had much luck so far.

Any ideas Linux Masters?
