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

I compared the two as I am a lifetime Roon customer.  I prefer the sound of the new Innuos Sense music app.  More natural and less electronic or digital sounding.  Not day and night, but better. My big issue is Innuos Sense does not seem to keep playing music, like Roon, when the album is complete.  Roon had a Radio switch that played artists similar to the artist as a continuous stream and I loved it.  Heard many new artists I loved this way.  
Anyone know if Innuos Sense has a similar setting? I can’t seem to find it.

No chance you can manage the bass output on subwoofer level? On the crossovers? or must it happen on the digital source level for some reason?

Yes Roon is garbage.

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.

IME Roon dsp not very good. Best sound quality attained with all user accessible settings off, therefore, no volume leveling, analysis, anything and everything set to off. These processes are purely for convenience in Roon, if one is serious about dsp with high sound quality use HQPLayer dsp, simply on totally different level from Roon dsp. Ask yourself why Roon has HQPlayer embedded within Roon? Because they know what I state here is true.

 

The one issue with HQPlayer vs Roon dsp is that HQPlayer will require higher power processor in streamer vs Roon, one probably needs at least Intel I7, I5 doesn't cut it.
