On their web site, they do a 'Computer audio demystified' report:

page 24:

"More CPU processing power and more RAM make your music playback sound
better. Additionally, newer 64-bit operating systems like Windows 7 and
Mac OS X tend to offer better sound quality than older 32-bit operating
systems. Whether the hard drive you store your music on is internal or
external, the quality of the hard drive and how it’s connected to your
computer impacts your computer audio sound. Higher transfer speeds sound
better, so faster spinning hard drives sound better. A 7200RPM drive
offers better audio performance than a 5400RPM drive. Solid-state drives
with no spinning discs sound better still, but before purchasing a
solid-state drive check the specifications for speed and get the fastest
transfer speed you can afford."

And it goes on.
