Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar.
@thyname  Funny, I owned the Phoenix reclocker and sold it after realizing it did not improve my systems sound quality with my then new MOJO Audio dac.

@chilehed My thoughts and experience match yours 100%. I stream most of the time as I find it sounds as good or often times better than ripped CDs. The Pulsar will sound better than the Pulse and Zenith 3. I good friend compared his Zenith 3 to ...

Understand.  Hope you are correct! Thank you @phishhhhh4

@chilehed  Well, I sold it.

@phishhhhh4  That is the big question here. My experience with those cheap switch mode wall warts is they inject noise into your digital front end without fail.  Will this also play out on a NAS? I’m not sure why it wouldn’t!

The Pulsar is like a Zenith 3 plus Phoenix in sound quality or so I read. Not sure this is really true. I loved my Zenith 3 and will miss its ease if use with internal storage. The Zenith 3 also rips CDs and auto loads them. The Pulsar costs some ...

@thyname Tbe Samsung SSD drive cost me $69 and if direct connectivity was allowed that would be my cost. Nice. A NAS will cost me at least $300-$400 and many cost upwards of $600-$700. In addition, I will need to buy an LPS to power it if I wan...

@asvjerry I don’t see me ripping anymore CDs or buying music files in the future. Since I have 1100 CDs ripped only using some 60% of 1TB, it seems reasonable to buy a 1TB. I will look at 2Tb since it is only a little more money 🙂.   @thyname ...

I have a lifetime Roon membership, but only use Sense because it sounds so much better. Therefore, I have no need to use my Pulsar as a Roon endpoint only. Really am disappointed I have to buy a NAS with the added complexity of processing built in...

@phishhhhh4    Can you provide me with a link to NAS you purchased? Seems I have to return my Samsung SSD and USB cable.

Seems I have to use a NAS? If so, it must connect in some manner. Perhaps an Ethernet jack? Innuos should have built this thing to allow for simple direct SSD or thumb drive.  Big miss in my opinion.

Ok now I am even more confused. How does a NAS hook up? No direct storage, meaning no external SSD drive? I just ordered an SSD as linked above.  Oh my, Innuos really!

 @vonhelmholtz  that is an interesting option.  I assume, not sure, the sound quality is not as good?

Thank you @drrsutliff and everyone else here. Looks like I am all set to purchase the Samsung SSD linked above. Easy and cost cost effective. Perfect!   I will either build my own usb cable and add the adaptor to C or buy the AQ.

@lalitk thank you so much for this simple answer. I assume the Samsung SSD only takes a type C connector. Which AQ cable do you use? The one linked?  @antigrunge2 what specific NAS do you suggest and why do you think I need this added cost/comple...
