New DAC or New Streamer?
I have read arguments suggesting Roon is unnecessarily burdensome on processors. I really don’t know enough to have an opinion one way or the other. I do know the Sense program is far less demanding and with each update sounds better and better. I... 
New DAC or New Streamer?
Roon is inferior sound quality wise on Innuos gear and certainly not in general. I am sure Roon sounds wonderful on other server/streamers. Innuos processing power is purposefully designed to be lower so as to minimize noise. That is one reason th...

Charles, I am eager to hear your comments on the new dac!   
Streamer upgrade? follow up.
Happy for you and enjoy!

I have found that the better the dac the MORE important the server/streamer and other network tweaks become. You need a great server/streamer to hear all your dac has to offer. Upgrades like ethernet filters, ethernet cables, and linear power supp...

@charles1dad I own the Innuos Zenith 3 and can tell you that Sense sounds far better than Roon on an Innuos player. Roon sounds flat and dull compared to Sense. Sense is more open sounding with better inner detail retrieval and improved realism....

Egg carton for soundproofing?

Best DACs under $7,000.00
@ricevs  The Peachtree unit has no usb input? No go for many of us with high quality USB streamers. Major oversight.  
So I bought the Willsenton R-800i
Thanks Charles.   
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
I do the same @mrdecibel for the same reasons.

The Willsenton amp seems to also offer great value. The bones of the amp look to be good especially for the price.

@charles1dad  Have you heard anything about the new Coincident Frankenstein 300b stereo amp for $2500? Seems like a nice value….    
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
Ha! I thought so, but was not totally sure I remembered correctly. Older age. You obviously have advanced listening skills and good taste in audio components! I use Hijiri HCS-25 and love them! Yes, I like them more than my own. I stopped making ...
