| Another person going digital and full of questions The range of products and opinions can be bewildering so I would start from a different angle. You want something to “complement” your other sources. What does that mean? Are you talking about a comparable sound? If so then that narrows your optio... | |
| Innuos Zen MK3 vs Aurender N100 Will you hear a difference moving from a Mac Min? Yes, absolutely huge. The difference between a Zen Mini with LPS and the Zen is still noticeable and, as already stated, if you aren’t going to use the DAC in the Mini then you don’t need a Mini. I... | |
| Innuos 2.1.0 upgrade Currently beta testing. No difference in sound quality but we now have Tidal integration which matches the existing Qobuz integration and it’s all you would hope. Doesn’t include MQA as yet but that’s not a deal breaker for me. Identified one bug,... | |
| Streamer Apps...how important? Actually the implementation of the app can have considerable influence on the sound depending on how it interacts with the server/streamer as Innuos have demonstrated. | |
| peachtree gan 400 is very good I think there’s a strong argument that the amps which immediately impress are the ones to hesitate about and the ones which make no immediate impression are often worthy of more thought. That’s not an absolute rule obviously but I do think it gene... | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health In the 60s I totally get what the fuss about Clapton was. From then on, not at all. I’ve little respect for the “…but live…” argument either. His Albert Hall and other residencies were the very definition of middle aged complacency. A night down t... | |
| Decware integrated Is there some reason they don’t just employ another person for at least some part of the process? | |
| New Naim Forum Yes I’m also using A5 and have been for 32 years. | |
| New Naim Forum I’m a Naim owner albeit slowly moving away. Nowadays, for all the great reviews, I’d argue their amps outperform the sources. I had a Naim source for 2 decades but their streamers leave me unengaged. For me, more boxes improved the quality but... | |
| Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think. Glad you got sorted. Now just enjoy the music. | |
| "Summer of Soul" Tonight 8pm PST Have watched it in the UK. Shockingly magnificent. Arguably some of the greatest concert footage you will ever see. | |
| Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think. Fourth paragraph. Brilliant. Every streamer app ever being described there in terms of functionality. Only the rest require next to none of that set up. Open app; connect to wi-fi; find network storage; log into Tidal etc. Press play. My parag... | |
| Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think. In fairness to you John then it must be said straight up that the Innuos Sense app does not yet have full Tidal integration. In practice what they do they have works very well but it does mean that if you want your fave Tidal albums to show up pro... | |
| Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think. Gotta love social media. Bloke takes the time to write 11 full paragraphs on what he does and doesn’t know or want. There’s still someone who thinks the solution is re-education and still someone who wants to talk technical. Who’s the “ignorant as... | |
| Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think. Having auditioned the Aurender at length I would say the app is okay but doesn’t come near the Innuos Sense app in terms of depth of functions and fundamental user friendliness. Aurender make good streamers but, as observed, lack the actual functi... |
