Protest Songs by the Specials is a pleasant surprise. Quintessentially English ska band plays virtually no ska and covers a bunch of Americans and… it won’t win album of the year but it is genuinely enjoyable. 
Lady Blackbird- Black Acid Soul - great sounding new Artist
Then she really has aged badly or has some kind of unspecified skin condition. 
Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?
Oh the aching silence.Enough said.  
Lady Blackbird- Black Acid Soul - great sounding new Artist
I know who she is. Would love to learn where you found her age though. My wife and I watched her on Later and she must have aged really badly as we both says 60s at minimum.  
Lady Blackbird- Black Acid Soul - great sounding new Artist
Having just seen her on Later I was astonished at how old she is. Impossible to find her age on the internet too so some seriously big money must be behind her to pull that stunt off. I now think we’re talking new persona rather than new artist. T... 
Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?
Oh dear. You said “several” European forums and yet you can only post one link? And that to a forum which has next to no reputation in “Europe” (whatever that vague term might be taken to mean in this context). It’s biggest posters are the people ... 
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
I really hope the one feature Sense does not adopt is any kind of recommendation engine. Have never yet found one capable of recognising that it’s recommending something I already own or of recommending anything interesting.  
Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?
Nice try. Could you post links to those European forums for this always interested European who quietly haunts several of the major ones and sees little to no mention of the 432Evo. Better still post the link to the review please. Only asking beca... 
Innuos Zenith MK3
Hmm. But why after the 2.0.5 update? 
Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?
@longinc genuinely hard to comment. It’s one for an audition. I have a weak point in my system as, to get it going, I used a £30 wireless bridge, which is still in place. I kind of assumed the switch would therefore give the biggest uplift compare... 
The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection
Have finally read the book recommended at the start of the thread and… well it’s okay. There were a few fascinating insights but not that many if you have followed Dylan at all in the last few decades and it’s poorly written overall; repetitive in... 
Innuos Zenith MK3
I’m interested in this as I have 2.0.6 on a Zenith and since 2.0.5 I’ve had the track skip issue on Qobuz. Can’t comment re: Tidal as idiot use it enough. I don’t have an Ayre DAC (Chord Hugo TT2) so is it really just a DAC issue? 
Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?
New products not on the horizon at all. All work being focussed on the Sense app and 2.0 and rightly so given the obvious improvements to UI and sound quality.Yes, the Zen is very much a sweet spot but having heard all 4 products I went for the Ze... 
Innuos: A Cautionary Tale.
You can likely lose the Ether Regen and replace with an Innuos Phoenix ethernet. The difference is immediately obvious.Unless you’re obsessed with the over curation of Roon you likely won’t need that after moving to 2.0.6.

The new album by Low inevitably joins the list.
