One more issue to mention: I strongly suggest you run your InnuOS server’s output at <94%. The server has very high output voltage and at 100% puts most amplifiers' inputs into overdrive resulting in an unneccessarily edgy and brittle SQ, parti...

@pedroeb  Spot on, I say...

Very sensible, too. And btw, does he use RCAs to drive his speakers?🤪

The Sean Jacobs power supply in the InnuOS takes about 4-6 weeks of continuous use to fully break in. While streaming may not be a priority, yet I am happy to report that SQ on a well sorted Qobus source now beats ripped CD.

No problems with the app whatsoever. I use Nordost Brahma on my Zenith Mk3 with good results. On USB Intona Reference plus Isolator have proven to be the gold standard. Use the shortest possible cables. I have a Ginkgo isolation platform under it...

Questions about Ethernet Cabling
Interesting you raise the Phoenix Net: it is actually InnuOS’ admission, that re-clocking the Ethernet is important and: yes, you are right: by the time youget all the boxes, you might as well... The reason that I didn’t is that my clock also re-c... 
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
As mentiomed above my experience points to clocking being more important than the power supply.

Two suggestions: 1. on the Zodiac use the Schroeder method with double RCA cables. I run mine on Sommercable Epilogue which is reasonably priced but phantastic. 2. on the phono link it all depends on the tonearm cable you are using. My best expe... 
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
@ddafoe if @arafic can replace the 100ft cat6 with fiber, I wholeheartedly agree with your suggestion. Just converting the last 6ft makes limited sense, though. In any case, any high quality reclocking of the Ethernet connection in my experience... 
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
@Arafic From personal experience I can assure you that the Etherregen doesn’t suffer from any of the ailments you mention. I run mine after DXE and EMO filters using a highly buffered LPS and (Zerozone 2020) and Antelope 10m clock. The improvemen... 
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
From your description I would recommend the following: get an Uptone Etherregen after the ENO filter, ideally driven by a quality LPS. Connect via the shortest possible Cat6 quality cable to the Zenith. The moat of the Etherregen will deal with an... 
Tube Line Stage around $5k
In that case your myopia prevents you from looking at Nagra, Wavac, Kondo and Audionote  
Ether Regen and AfterDark Master Clock
The Etherregen is as close to the Zenith as possible and connected with a 25cm Meicord cat6. The Dac feeds a Wavac EC300b driving Duevel Bella Lunas via Auditorium23,speaker cables. Connection between Dac and server is via Intona Reference and Iso...
