Mains power quality worldwide.
Japan and Tsunami power, anyone? Or naked power from Fiji? 
CDP or DAC?
You should try and get an optimised streaming device setup: it‘ll significantly outperform any CDP or server you might use. I have uploaded my CD collection to my InnuOS Zenith Mk3. After initial trials I never used it getting my playback via Qobu... 
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
I was using a Schiit Eitr with good results before converting to USB after adding a 10m clock to my Antelope Zodiac Platinum. On SP/DIF you are limited to 24/192 with no DSD and don‘t have the benefit from slaving the server to the dac under the a... 
Rank the tweaks, geeks!
In terms of efficiency, I‘d rank anything contributing to eliminating EMI/RFI highest. So: passive filters (Acoustic Revive, Akiko et.al.) followed by contact enhancers (Acoustic Revive, Mad Scientist et.al.) followed by cables (Phono, USB, Server... 
LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?
In my experience EAT and Takatsuki are the best 300b tubes at the moment 
Does adding a steamer to a Roon Nucleus / server improve audio output
…only if you play mostly sexy soul music😇 
Innuos Zenith MK3
It happened to me running version 1.4.9. Which are you referring to? 
Innuos Zenith MK3
I have had the issue when streaming Qobus, particular with albums with a track count over 15. Attributed it to Qobus rather than InnuOS since I haven’t experienced it using my library, so your experience got me very interested. Did you contact the... 
Scheu Audio Das Laufwerke No 2 Arrives Safely
I have been running the same turntable albeit on a slate base with a Verus rimdrive, a Dynavector DV 507 MkII and a Zyx Universe cartridge for the last 15 years and think it amazing. Mass loading simply works and the Scheu design is second to none 
Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!!
Emotions without a modicum of technical understanding are not much use. A modern Dac puts out 2V RMS single ended and 4V balanced. That is the same as a spec preamp and plenty to drive any power amp. So all that’s needed is an attenuator not eatin... 
Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!!
This thread seems borderline meaningless: whereas the preamp is crucial on low voltage phono, all you need for high voltage digital is an attenuator in a reasonably well matched system. And that before you even start accounting for mismatches betw... 
Innuos: A Cautionary Tale.
@anzaanimalclinic,+1 on InnuOS for SQ over Roon 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
@herman ,that quote is priceless! The Duke was definitely onto something… 
BNC Cable is RG6 the best?

BNC Cable is RG6 the best?
in my experience a double run of Sommercable BNC via T-splitters under the Schroeder method beat a $2000+ Shunyata Sigma Clock Cable, highly recommended.
