| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @grannyring I want to thank you for creating this thread. Based on your impressions, and other folks whose opinion I trust, I took the plunge and bought the Zenith MK3 along with the Eno AG package. At first, I didn’t think this combo was much bet... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @timo62 -- the PhoenixNET switch definitely sounds very interesting. It's a little pricey but if you consider the alternative, i.e. the jumbled mess of wires and boxes, it's actually not a bad deal, and not really that much more expensive consider... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @nmolnar f possible, connect mesh routers together with Ethernet cable or fiber backhaul runs for best performance. I'm curious why connecting 'mesh routers together with ethernet cable' vs. the ethernet cable directly from my router in the ... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? Thanks @thyname . I tried the solution you posted above, but for whatever reason the files won't show up in Roon. I tried another workaround using Soundiiz that worked quite well actually. From within Roon, I exported the playlists and albums into... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling I wanted to provide a quick update ... I received the Supra Cat8 ethernet cable a couple of days ago, and tried a few different configurations. The best config that I settled on is something like this ... Media Room >> Wall jack >> S... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @thyname Thanks once again. What I found out was that Innuos's Squeezelite version only supports up to DSD 64. I can clearly hear the difference between 64 and 128. Anyway, I'm now using Zenith as the 'regular' Roon core, and it works like a charm... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @thyname That worked like a charm! Thank you again. However, I ran into another issue after using Squeezelite setting. When I try to play a DSD 128 file from my Zenith SSD, Roon converts it to PCM. Not only that it continues to down-convert it f... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? I tried the Squeezelite Roon Core option, but Roon won't recognize my DAC (Luxman DA-06) which is connected to the Zenith. In my Roon iphone app, I am able to connect to Zenith, but when I click on Manage audio devices, it's not able to connect to... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @thyname Thanks for sharing your impressions. I recently bought a Zenith MK3, and to be honest one of the main reasons was all the great things I heard about the new version of Sense. I totally agree that the user experience on Sense is miles behi... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @jerrybj -- someone like @lalitk or @antigrunge2 are probably more knowledgeable on this topic, but I would say something like an ENO filter (Network Acoustics) might not be a bad option to consider. I tried my Zenith MK3 both with and without the... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @lalitk -- Agreed. As we discussed a few weeks ago, something like Telegartner is part of the not-so-distant future purchase plan. The cheap switch was always supposed to be a stopgap measure, but what I didn’t account for was that it would actual... | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point @larsman -- thank you for sharing your impressions. It looks like our preferences when it comes to particular ’flavors’ of DACs are quite alike. I’ve never tried the higher priced DACs like DAVE, but based on what I have heard I too prefer a sligh... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @ianrodger -- thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, in my area houses do not have basements, and there is no way to run the wire underneath the house without performing some major surgery. There are a number of hallways and other rooms in the ... | |
| Innuos owners. Chime in I’ve been reading about the Innuos Phoenix USB component lately. The results seem to be all over the map with some reporting a noticeable improvement while others didn’t notice much of a difference. Obviously a lot depends on the rest of the chain... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling So a quick update ... adding a second switch (in the media room) that sits between the wall jack and Eno was an abject failure. I bought a basic D-Link switch with iFi power supply. It felt like someone put a thick blanket over the sound. The degr... |
