Innuos owners. Chime in


Hi all,

I will be receiving a Innous Zen MK3 in the next couple of days. I’m curious to know what power cords, and usb suited best?

Additionally any tips would be appreciated. Break in time. Etc.. I’m hoping their new app is stable.

Thank you,

J

I agree with your thought that "maybe it is just you".  There is a lot of room for personal prefernce in this hobby.  I respect your choice.

I find no difference in the sound as both of them have the primary function of telling the streamer which song to play.

So I'm not sure why you feel the need to proselytize so much for Sense.

@antigrunge2 : yes of course. I compare it all the time. And yes, you are right. Majority of albums & times Sense sounds better than Roon, but not shockingly so. To my ears. I use Sense when I really want to focus. But most of the time, Roon. Due to unparalleled user experience, as well as library management & navigation. I have put a lot work with Roon and my music library over the past 5+ years since I purchased the Roon lifetime subscription. But yes, I am aware

I am going along with @antigrunge2 :-

"Innuos is deliberately designed with a low power, low noise CPU. Roon however puts heavy demands on the CPU through DSP and other features, so it fundamentally follows a different design philosophy. Hence the better sound from Sense on Innuos equipment."

 

If you don’t hear a difference, it doesn’t mean there is no difference. To each his own, as always. 

I am an AQ guy.

So, AQ Diamond for USB.

AQ Storm Series for Power cords.

Very happy with the results.
