| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point @larsman this is indeed very high praise for the Holo May. I was planning to buy a new dac next year, and you've definitely piqued my interest. Can you describe the differences between these two setups? | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @sns -- totally agree with you. Both @yyzsantabarbara and I have tried the opticalRendu and can attest to the benefits that fiber brings to the table. Just like @yyzsantabarbara I too am stumped as to why there are so few companies offering fiber ... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling As I mentioned earlier, this thread is not about debating whether ethernet cables, or any other cables for that matter, are effective or not. I don’t necessarily disagree with the explanations provided above, but I’ve also learned that there are t... | |
| Innuos owners. Chime in Also AFAIK, Sense is in fact Innuos’ in house app provided free of charge. | |
| Innuos owners. Chime in Did you search for 'Innuos Sense'? I can easily find it this way. | |
| Innuos owners. Chime in I have a Zenith MK3 and I'm using it with an ENO filter and Silnote Epirus Reference cable. I also tried it with Curios Cable and didn't hear any difference between the two. Audio Envy Mega 3 power cord. I'm also wondering how long it takes the Z... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling The. more I read about this, and the more I learn from folks like @lalitk and @antigrunge2 the more I think that things happening before the streamer are perhaps even more important than the streamer itself. Better switches, clocks, wires ... I’m ... | |
| Next upgrade? +1 on room treatments. | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @yyzsantabarbara -- that’s actually not a bad idea to use a switch that provides SFP fiber ports. I think this is similar to what @duckworp mentioned earlier. I already use a similar converter (not switch) in my office setup with the opticalRendu ... | |
| Your experience with an inexpensive DAC? What is your budget? Based on your music preferences you should consider R2R dacs. A Denafrips Ares dac is a great musical choice. You can also consider buying used to get even better quality at a lower price. | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @fittebd Did you get the optical version of the Signature Rendu? I think it's called the Signature Rendu SE optical Level 2. This one was high on my list but I decided to give Innuos a try especially after reading glowing reviews about their Sense... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @fittebd -- The Innuos Zenith in fact replaced a Sonore opticalRendu in the media room. I'm now using the opticalRendu in my study. After trying out a few streamers at different price points, I can safely say that it is a phenomenal streamer that ... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling As I mentioned in the OP, the Cat6 cable connecting the switch in my study to the media room is over 100 foot long, in fact if you consider the vertical distances (up and down the ceiling), we're probably talking close to 200 feet. Plus my house i... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @grannyring Thank you. I have to find a way to transfer my stuff from the current Roon core (Sonore Transporter i5) to Zenith, and then start using it as a core. Hopefully, I can sell the Transporter to fund some other goodies like better switches... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @antigrunge2 I was looking at another Innuos product called PhoenixNET. It seems to be an audiophile-grade network switch with a nice power supply and a clock that's a trickle down from their top of the line Statement server. Not sure if you've he... |
