Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
@lalitk  👍 Charles

@lalitk “This looks like a DAC from AbbasAudio….is this 3.2 Signature version?” Yes , 3.2 but the SE model not the Signature. Abbas made five or six of the Signature versions. I’m not sure if he plans on any more. He uses special parts in his 3...

@grannyring Here is an internal look  of my Just completed built DAC in Ukraine. Should have it in a couple of weeks.

@grannyring Not saying the above set up is best. It is not. It is natural sounding, minimal boxes and reasonable money for the level of sound quality….excluding the cost of my particular dac. Thanks for the example set up, you have a clear id...

@antigrunge2 For those who care, the Taiko Extreme Thread on WBF explores this in endless and glory detail. Overloading a low power server with Roon is not the way to go. @charles1dad: +1 I have a friend who owns the Taiko Extreme and he’s abso...

I understand that there’s more than one way to skin a cat. However the Innuos (And I believe also Aurender) approach of lower CPU power/processing is very appealing and seems successful for them. Intuitively more logical to me. Charles  
Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system?
howsoever, as per @lanx0003there are diminishing returns in this game and, purely subjectively, the wiim is the (dirt cheap) point at which sonic improvements become more marginal. just my opinion. No question that there are diminishing returns... 
Are measurements the end all, be all?
@ghdprentice  The basic foundation of high end audio / Audiophilia is observation (like science). Every component and their interaction is about this. You must listen to them… each person has different values and the true musical performance (so... 
Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system?
@lanx0003 What makes it not sound as good if it does satisfy all the digital source requirements, your thoughts? That is for you to decide. So definitely listen to it and develop a judgment of what you hear. If it does satisfy you sonically, ... 
Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output
@lalitk  I really appreciate your feedback and insight. At one time I gave serious thought to acquiring a Shindo preamplifier and amplifier combo. I subsequently chose the Coincident pairing and have been thrilled. However I believe that I’d have... 
Innuos PULSE Mini?
@j_andrews Good points. On paper the Innuos Pulse seems ideal for me. High quality single focused network player not music server. Aurender N150 would be ideal except that it’s exclusively USB (Not interested) and front screen (Don’t need it). S... 
Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output
@lalitk  I did not know that you had a Shindo component/system background. Very interesting. Does the Aurender house signature remind or have any sonic characteristics in common with Shindo? Charles  
Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system?
@lanx0003  You do not need to spend 2-3k to have a decent streamer but the $80 wiim does not cut it But that’s the point . The Wilm unit will absolutely “cut it” for the “bits are bits “ adherents. By their reasoning there is no justification ... 
Streamer upgrade? follow up.
@laoman  Those who do not have always try to play down those who have. This is human nature. Well done op True unfortunately far too often. Charles  
Innuos PULSE Mini?
@akgwhiz  Far be if from me to have an opinion on these but I'm also seeing recent endorsements from long-term Agonners with stellar reputation that Innuos 2.0 sounds fantastic Yes, this is why I am looking forward to subsequent feedback on th...
