750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
Plus Qobuz sounds better than Tidal. Tidal is thin sounding and a tad harsh in the highs compared to Qobuz.  Then we see different cables are being used. This impacts the sounds greatly. Most likely different power cables and footers are also bein... 
Thank you millercarbon
Can’t believe it is bare wire. Many issues with that if the case.    
Thank you millercarbon
Why is this a fire hazard? I assume the conductors are covered in a slightly oversized clear Teflon tube…..right? At least this is another layer of protection. I doubt the copper conductors are naked.  They would oxidize.    
Tidal vs. Others- End of 2021
Qobuz is slightly better sounding.  More weight and body. Tidal is a tad thin or lean.    
Puritan PSM156
I find my system sounds the best with everything plugged into the 156.  Tried removing my amp and the sound was nowhere as good.  I also use the Groundmaster.   
What's up with Innuos?
You nailed it! Correct on all points based on my experience. Yes, 2.08 has solved near all the issues. Wish they had a radio or DJ feature also!   I find myself using Roon for most background listening, to find new music, and when I want to lear... 
Jantzen Wax Coil or Mundorf M-Coil CFC
Must be a tad tricky soldering foil type conductors to those mini usb solder tabs!   
What's up with Innuos?
The. 2.08 update has been 100% problem free for me. Still find the sound quality on par with Roon at worst. I actually use Sense for critical listening as the sound quality is often better than Roon.    
Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR
Fyne speakers are worth a look. I am looking at the 703 & 704s.    
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
If you don’t use DSP Roon can easily be both core and end point. I used my Zenith for both and DSP with no issues a couple of years ago. My experience anyway.

You will be getting better SQ from your server/streamer now.  Good for you!   
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
I use both. If the recording is average I like Roon’s warming effect more. Today I am listening through Roon. On great sounding recordings and for critical listening I still prefer Sense. Roon is miles ahead in terms of user interface. Not even cl... 
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
Roon as had 2 updates over the last month or two and they have improved sound quality! Good new.  I find Roon to be more full bodied, warmer, rounder bass and a tad darker. Sense 2.08, make sure you have 2.08 as an update just came out, is more ne...

Thanks @timo62    @caglioti , happy you found more enjoyment from your music! Yes, it takes away glare and some digital artifacts for sure!   
Innuos Sense vs Roon Experimental Mode
I have done extensive listening tests. Sense 2.08 is more resolute, more open and detailed. Sense offers more air and inner detail. Roon is a tad warmer, more mid-bass energy and less articulate in the bass. Bass is more rounded and full. Mids an...
