Acoustic sounds ceased hi resolution downloads
@lalitk I have an Innuos Zen mkIII streamer going into a Chord Qutest and a Qobuz subscription. Ever since I got the Zen I can say that playing an album from the internal Zen hard drive vs streaming the same resolution album from Qobuz is slightly...

@lalitk Thanks. Unfortunately they don't have the DSD versions like AS had. 
0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer?
As for the "do expensive streamers really sound better" I recently upgraded from a Bluesound Node 2i which I thought was a great streamer for the money. I was using it as a streamer only, running it into a Chord Qutest. A couple weeks ago I receiv... 
Stream vs digital download
So I just tried to albums, what's $36 to try something you enjoy. I downloaded a Sierra Hul, 25 Trips and Sarah Jarosz Undercurrent. Compared a couple songs to the Qobuz stream and I must say there is just a little something extra on the downloade... 
Innuos - New Player App
@thyname @timo62 I believe the OP may have been asking about the new 2.0 expected to launch soon. 
Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume
@testrun thanks. I tried KT88's and they were just too bright in my system, maybe its the B&W tweeter, so I am hesitant about any KT family as I seem to prefer that warm voluptuous EL34 sound. 
Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume
Thanks @mesch and @hilde45 for helping to talk me down off a ledge. It all makes sense.  
Best Streamer for Qobuz/Ripper/Storage Device under $3k.
I completely agree with @soix I just upgraded my Bluesound node 2i to an Innuos Zen mkIII, not the mini. The sound difference was not subtle. So much more open and smoother, almost more analog like, a lot of digital glare was lifted. Bass was even... 
Bluesound Node 2i digital output problems...
If you tried both optical and coax I would say its a hardware problem. I would have it replaced right away if you bought it brand new. 
Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me?
My test say different. I just got into streaming back in the summer and purchased a Bluesound Node2i. While it was a nice a streamer for the money, I was missing something and I also wanted a server to rip disc to replace my old Sony DVP9000ES. I ... 
Innuous Zenith Mk III Arrives Tomorrow
@audiotroy I know this is an old thread but I had a question as I just received a Zen MkIII and I absolutely love it. I saw a couple people suggesting isolation feet like ISO or Stilpoints. Is there that much of an improvement over the stock feet ... 
Streamer's without built in DAC options?
I agree with @soix I just got an Innuos Zen mkIII. Amazing unit, I was amazed at the sound quality differences from my Node 2i when streaming Qobuz, it sounded so much more analog and natural and open through the Zen. 
Streamers sans DAC?
I have an Innuos Zen Mk III on the way to replace my Node 2i. Watch the Darko video on the Zen. 
Does anyone know who's playing
I am curios too. Keep us posted if you find out please. 
In-wall ethernet cable for streamer
@kijanki The only reason I was going by the foot is I will have to pull it through the wall using the old cable. Having an end on it may make it very difficult or impossible to pull it through. I could cut the end off and re-terminate it with a ne...
