I agree with your comments about hi-res vs. a well-recorded CD.

"RAID 0
Combines 2 drives in the N1 into a single array. The usable drive space is the total space of all drives used. This simple RAID mode offers faster performance than a spanned array. If a single drive in the array fails, then all data on the array is lost. Amongst the three RAID modes, RAID 0 does not offer any redundancy. If secure data storage is critical, using RAID 0 is not recommended." (Melco manual)

Quote from Alan Ainslie (Melco 2017):
"Few points;-
1 – RAID 0 is the best sound, but you MUST keep a backup as impossible to recover any data from a failed RAID 0 array."

Due to the fact that excursion of the hdd heads are minimised in RAID 0, gives less interference of mechanical Noise/distortion in the data stream. Powersupply of signalpath and mechanical part of the hdd powersupply are seporated for this reason.
