Master Clock for the SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo SE
@antigrunge2  Yup...always curious to see hear how far we can push the bar!  
Master Clock for the SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo SE
@antigrunge2  Thanks for your post and clarification. I keep forgetting majority of folks still using USB or AES/SPDIF to connect their streamer and DAC. I have gone all Ethernet and couldn’t be any happier.   
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
@jerryg123  What do you eat for breakfast? Your sense of humor is off the charts 🤣  
Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output
@charles1dad I did own Shindo pre paired with a bespoke 300B mono amp. Perhaps the best pre till date I’ve experienced in my system. Ken Shindo was a genius in connecting its listeners intimately to music through his masterpieces. I wish, I woul... 
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
It is my belief that no one product based on its implementation and execution is designed for everyone. Regardless of what path we have chosen, the single most important thing in our selection is to access what we like in an audio product. Some au... 
Streamer upgrade? follow up.
@vthokie83  Good post but why would anyone put together N200 and AirLens as suggested in your #3. Their core functionality is identical i.e. streamer.

@jjss49  Thanks for posting the video. Hans nailed it. But man, he missed the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, he could have easily asked SOtM to send the switch with external master clock input :-)

“Does it really make a noticeable difference?” @plga The answer to your question is emphatically YES! But you must use a very high quality external Master Clock to hear appreciable improvements.The BNC clock cable quality also matters. If your D...

“Trouble with that is that the more powerful the processor the higher the noise level…” @antigrunge2 Exactly! One of the reasons why I prefer Aurender’s Conductor app over ROON. And some folks wonder why Aurender is not supporting ROON :-)  
Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system?
“but i'm hard pressed to see spending alot more for incremental improvements.” @loomisjohnson  Good to know you find your streaming outlay satisfactory. I am curious how much investment you have in your Turntable / Cart and phonostage?   
Streamer upgrade? follow up.
“Charity comes from the heart not the wallet.” @jerryg123 I couldn’t agree with you more! There are many who have the means to give, but not the heart to shell out a dime. BTW, your reply to audiotroy was precious 🤣  
The best plug in filter ever!
“There are plenty of products in this genre – size, shape, price all quite similar. Sudkee’s tech is different as I’m told” Mark, I’m sure as each of aforementioned brands / products claims to lower noise and improve our listening experience to ...

“For me, this is just a dirty business and I would not like to contribute despite that SQ is so important for me.” @niodari Pardon me, I don’t mean to be rude but please give us one good reason why any of us waste our time explaining the advantag... 
Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output
@montaldo Indeed, Masseto is superior to old Monbrison. The point of bringing Monbrison in my previous post was to consider Monbrison over Aurieges. If I have an opportunity to grab Masseto, I wouldn’t think twice. It is my belief that newer rev... 
Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output
+1, @jperry The Masseto is a much better pre/phono than entry level Aurieges. If you still looking at options, also consider used Monbrison Pre from Ken Shindo era, which has an outstanding MC phono stage. I used my Monbrison with HANA Umami Red...
