| Bluesound Vault 2 It is simple to back up the Vault with a USB drive. I used an inexpensive USB HD to make backups and restored it to my Zenith when I upgraded which was also a breeze. | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker Cool, been keen on trying one of these out but my dealer has not been able to get hold of one. They say they have one inbound but that has been the story for several weeks. Will be interested in your experience going forward. | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker Congratulations, did your dealer happen to mention what the lead time is for delivery? | |
| Innuos ZEN Mini Mk3 vs Bluesound Vault 2i Some of this has been covered in other threads. @stevehuff has an extensive writeup that you can glean some info from here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/innous-zen-mini-mk-3 but he's taking things a few steps further with the LPS and... | |

| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 @stevehuff , nice writeup. No question Innuos is a sonic step up but for many, Roon will be a critical piece given the other UI alternatives. I had the same experience with Orange Squeeze as you had with iPeng. It is clumsy with only the most basi... | |
| Move to the next level @bruce19, you are probably right about the move to Bluesound. I only mention it because of the value and that it is widely integrated with all the popular services and has a well integrated control app. I know Yamaha makes some good stuff and am a... | |
| Move to the next level @bruce19, Lots of possibilities. If your top priority is to simply improve SQ, most any of the suggestions given will likely do the trick. Understanding and prioritizing your secondary objectives are what will differentiate between many of the opt... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker @liquidsound, so this demo was right out of the box? Not sure if this is the type of product that will benefit from break in time? Also wondering what DAC he is using? Lastly, any idea when he ordered it and when he took delivery? TIA. | |
| Yamaha Audio products from the past? vs. more current. Wow, just read a quick review online and they sound impressive. Yamaha is not the first company I think of when talking about loudspeakers but it is great to see that they are getting back in with renewed commitment. Will be interested in your exp... | |
| Yamaha Audio products from the past? vs. more current. I still own an M80 power amp that I bought new in 1984 along with a matching pre amp (C80) and tuner. About 3 years ago I had the amp completely restored and it came back as new. I used it for 6 months and came across a deal on a Pass 250.8 which ... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker I ordered a Zenith Mk3 from a dealer outside of Boston 2 1/2 weeks ago. I asked them what the delivery time was and they said a week but it is not in yet. While there I asked about the reclocker and they said they had one on order. Given that and ... | |
| Sbooster LPS for Lumin U1 mini? ozzy62,No idea if this will translate the same way on the Lumin, but check out this writeup on the Innuos (scroll down to "upgrades"): https://darko.audio/2019/11/innuos-zen-mini-mk3-review/ | |
| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 Tough one...I doubt you would be disappointed with the Node. The other issue is the interface. The native UI that comes with Bluesound is easy to use and works well but not terribly rich. Not sure what Innuos gives you out of the box. I've heard t... | |
| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 There is a good review here if you haven't seen it: https://darko.audio/2019/11/innuos-zen-mini-mk3-review/ Unfortunately there are no comparisons to the Bluesound gear in the article. I have compared the Zenith Mk3 with the BS Vault2 and there ... |
