Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?

Hi @grannyring and everybody else:

Currently I use Roon, but would like to get the better sound I have heard people are able to get from Innuos Sense and even from Qobuz going direct into the DAC. I like Roon because of its ease of use and its database handling features but also need its DSP functionality. I am prepared to give up on Roon's database handling and overall ease of use but need a DSP function for sure with my system. Is there any way of getting an Innuous server to perform any DSP without engaging Roon within the Innuos server?

It seems to me from reading the Innuos manuals and website that I might be out of luck in my quest. But just thought I would check. Also perhaps there are other hardware or software options that folks may know of.

Thank you

I see, too bad about the lack of DSP with Innuos. 

I find it essential for my Linkwitz system to manage down the bass output that would otherwise overload my room with bass.

Thanks

Hi @thyname. Attenuating the bass drivers by 5/10/15 db across the bass driver spectrum alone is easily managed with Rothwell attenuators. But unfortunately I have historically felt that a little bit of attenuation is also necessary at the lowest end of the lower mid-range driver spectrum.  And that makes the situation a bit complicated as this attenuation cannot be applied evenly across the whole of this lower mid driver’s spectrum. In future am going to experiment with 15 db attenuators on the bass drivers alone (currently I use only 10 db Rothwell attenuators on the bass drivers and then add a bit more attenuation on top using Roon DSP) and see if that proves adequate and then maybe I will be able to revisit the Innuos.

Unfortunately the ASP crossovers are hardwired by Linkwitz and I can’t tinker with those.

Thanks for the ideas though.
