Server/Streamer or Streamer/DAC?
Streamers improve on computers by better and multiple power supplies, better USB ports and software as well as lots of measures to suppress EMI/RFI that computers tend to not much care about.The resulting SQ is in a different zip code altogether. ... 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
@rushfan71,I suggest you go and listen to a Zenith rather than just posting about it 
Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time?
Anything with the name Kondo, Shindo or Wavac on it. European and American offerings aren‘t even close 
How Black is Your Background?
Never blacker than when the system is off. This discussion lacks substance, the exact opposite of a black hole 
What kind of listening chair
Whatever you use, don‘t let it be above shoulder height.Also height should provide good allignment with the tweeters. 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
@rushfan71,reminds me of a quote of I believe it was Matisse: when asked why a painting of a mere 4 lines should cost so much he responded: if it were only 3 lines it‘d cost double. 
I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking?
@fredcdobbs,only if granny was grossly obese 
We spend too much time talking about tweeters
@noble100 ,Suffered from excess distortion and bad allignment... Also may have had a dent in his cathode. 
We spend too much time talking about tweeters
@thom_at_galibier_design ,Your point on overtones, i.e. harmonic reflections of base notes is fundamental for not only defining timbre but also location in the soundstage. To wit: look at the astounding effect of supertweeters such as Murata or To... 
Which USB Re Clocker
A reclocker is second best to improving the DAC‘s clock since asynchronous USB slaves the server to the DAC‘s clock. That said inserting galvanic isolation on the USB connection makes a big difference even if djones51 can‘t seem to hear it.  
What ever happened to....
The bricks are a sink for transformer born EMI. That‘s what they are made for and that‘s what they do if your system is sufficiently resolving. The only more powerful way I have found to achieve the same goal is Acoustic Revive‘s REM-8 and they ac... 
What ever happened to....
britishaudiostore.com still sells them and they work wonders on all sorts of power supplies, some flat earthers‘views not withstanding. And before anyone starts: I am a private individual enjoying my music. 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
@jayrossi13 On InnuosOS connecting ipeng was a total no-brainer, I use an Ipad via wifi. Soundquality is fabulous but some of the detailed displays truncate information.Overall I am happy with it, I was running Puremusic on a Mac Mini before movin... 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
Another case of USB being a dodgy standard. I run my Zenith Mk3 into an Antelope Zodiac Platinum with Rubidium clock. To get it to sound as spectacular as it can it took the following:-Intona USB 2.0 Isolator with Intona reference cable-Acoustic R... 
A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics
What we have here again is the bits-are-bits crowd resolutely sitting on their ears. The only thing more disheartening is their inability to get up. Galvanic isolation on USB and filtering on Ethernet both work audibly well, even if ASR hasn‘t car...
