@timothy468 Tim, I run a similar set up to yours. Zen MK 3 > uDDC > Denafrips t2. I also run a USB cable out of my Zen MK 3 via streamer out to my Bluesound Node Lan USB input, so as to avoid Bluetooth on the Node. All works great, but I did notice the USB out on the Zen MK 3 can be touchy and the signal will drop if the cables aren’t secured properly, seems the connection port on the Zen is a little bit loose when trying to secure the cables. I’ve heard of this from other Zen MK 3 users, but getting the cables situated properly, all connections work fine. Not sure if this helps you, but it’s been my experience. I can sense your frustration, I’ve been there. Good luck, I would also highly recommend the innuos zen MK 3, it’s a great streamer.
Innuos Zen MK3 tips and tricks
I am purchasing an Innuos Zen MK3 with 1TB. Will be streaming QoBuz and ripping CDs Qobuz doesn’t have, mostly extras from box sets and live sets. I will be using the Innuos app controlling the unit from my iPad. Please share any tips or tricks you’ve learned from running a similar setup. For example, settings for ripping CDs etc.
