| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? I really like the Black Magic Ultra from Mad Scientist. This review from Hifi Advice compares the Black Magic Ultra to the FTA Sinope you mention in your original post. https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/cables-reviews/reviews-digital-cab... | |
| Korneff or similar 45 I owned a Korneff 45, which was a fantastic amp. Alan Eaton's amp are, in my humble opinion, equally impressive. https://www.alaneatonamplifiers.com/ | |
| Do you have a perfect digital marriage? Antipodes K50 G4 --> Jorma AES/EBU --> EMM DV2 DAC. The sound is the best I've had in my system. The network is optimized as well; Paul Pang Quad Switch --> Reiki SuperSwitch Master Pro. | |
| Innuos Zen MK3 tips and tricks You should toggle the latency mode for USB, determine which way it sounds better. The factory default is Normal--but I prefer low. Below is more info on how to make this change. https://community.innuos.com/threads/tip-of-day-usb-low-latency-set... | |
| Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD @bossa - If you don't like the Sense app you can always switch to Roon on the Zenith. I have a Zenith, with Phoenix USB, and prefer the sound of Sense over Roon. While not as feature rich as Roon, I find the Sense app meets my needs--and the UI ... | |
| Are AYON Amps popular in the high end community? I purchased a new Ayon Spirit III a handful of years ago, it arrived with a remote that only worked intermittently.

| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator @ozzy Did you end up testing the Ardvark before and after the EtherRegen? | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator I hadn’t heard of this until your post. I checked out their website and I’m not sure what it will add above and beyond the EtherRegen. Based upon what it does, I’d place it between the EthereRegen and your Lumin. I’ve read forum posts about the p... | |
| Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ? While I don’t have first-hand experience with the Silver Dart I’m currently using Zavfino speaker (Prima Mk. 2) and power (Prima Mk. 2 and Fina) cables in my system--and I really enjoy the them. If you have questions about the Silver Dart cables, ... | |

| Upgrading my streaming/digital system- what would make the most sense? My personal experience: I found the biggest jump in sound quality was going from a Mac mini to a dedicated music server/streamer, which at the time was en entry level Aurender. My current server/streamer is an Innuos Zenith Mk 3, I'm using the Inn... | |

| Digital add ons-airlens, matrix spdif, Innuous Phoenix net, Phoenix usb @brownsf Assuming the config looks like this: Zenith --> USB --> PhoenixUSB --> Matrix Converter --> spdif --> PS Audio DS, the Matrix spdif converter would negate the need for the PhoenixUSB. Are you using Roon or the Innuos Sense... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing @jjss49 This is a great list and thank you for sharing. What are you thoughts on the internal H590 DAC as compared to the standalone DACs you've tried? From your system page, it seems like you have quite a speaker collection as well. Did you fi... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV and Luxman Integrated I've owned the CW IV, for solid state the Naim Uniti Nova was an excellent match. The Uniti Nova provides a ton of value as an integrated amp, DAC, and streamer.If budget is an issue you'll save on components and cabling. For tubes, I really lik... |
