I'm a complete novice with Linux. I am getting a Nuc Id today in the mail and I was just wondering if there were any "best practices" in setting up a Linux system for the best audio. Are there services that should be shut off, etc...
JRiver MC will be the only thing on it and I want bit perfect data sent via hdmi to my Marantz receiver (and connected via ethernet to my Windows 7 PC that has all my music).
I don't want any upsampling, etc... - I just want everything sent to the receiver in its native form/resolution from my Windows machine.
Any tips at all would be appreciated because I've never used a Linux system or JRiver - but I'm really looking forward to it:)
