Originally posted by Diki: Computer systems SEEM to have a much easier time of this, streaming multiple files simultaneously, but the thing is, they aren't REALLY realtime. The computer will pre buffer data (because it knows what is coming) to give the illusion of realtime performance. It only needs a few milliseconds to do it, but in a realtime environment, those few milliseconds are just enough to give you glitches and stinky timing.
Personally, as expensive and as unproven as this technology is, I think I am prepared to wait a few more years until the hardware catches up to needs, and the whole thing gets a bit more mature. It just seems a little kludgey right now.
For the first part I already said that in my post....It buffers it INTO RAM....PCs(and this includes all keyboards which are in essence small PCs) run NOTHING directly from the hard drive, it must ALL go into RAM which is where the operating systems and programs are ALL run from. In the case of some keyboards the SSD as well.
As for the second part it is NOT unproven and streaming works extremely well IF you have the correctly specified gear to start with. Gear which I must say the Audya does not appear to have.
They are trying to run "noughties" technology from "nineties" hardware....It AIN'T gonna happen!!!
