Lady Blackbird- Black Acid Soul - great sounding new Artist
Easily on my shortlist for album of the year. Best new vocalist I’ve heard in a long time.  
Innuos Zen Mini Mk3 w/PSU |VS| Lumin U1 Mini
Innuos by some distance in answer to that question. 
Best music in 2021
Black Acid Soul by Lady Blackbird currently way ahead of other stuff for me this year. Best new female vocalist for a long time. 
Rank the top reference DACs you've heard
@facten as per my previous post what I found lacking about them was a lack of musical engagement i.e. each had some good stuff going on but it left me cold. It left me disengaging from the music and flicking my eyes out of the window or starting a... 
Rank the top reference DACs you've heard
I would disregard probably 50% or more of the DACs listed as completely unengaging. I would then add in the Denafrips Terminator Plus. 
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
No idea what your first sentence means @oldschool1948 but it reads somewhat unnecessarily aggressively. As per my original post, Tidal integration is not in place as yet in terms if it being implemented as they’ve implemented the Qobuz integration... 
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
Might help to read the blog @oldschool1948.There is currently no Tidal integration. It is coming but at present you set up your collection and playlists in the Tidal app. They then appear in Sense. Of the many reported issues they’re currently add... 
I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
Going back to the original post. The OP saw the Velvets live? That’s what’s being said. I’d appreciate some clarity on that. First time round seems unlikely. Comeback tour, or, just a name casually thrown in to sound impressive? Etta James? Hmm. D... 
The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection
The fundamental issue with the Wilentz book is that it’s a decade old. Things have changed, to say the least. 
Is today’s contemporary music lacking?
I think any comment about “the music of today” being somehow inferior or lacking is lazy, complacent and phenomenally ignorant. This from the generation which prided itself on its open mindedness. 
Is today’s contemporary music lacking?
I’ve yet to hear any music where technology did everything. The dirt of comment which is itself just lazy stereotyping. This thread is just the sound of old people discovering that every genre has its limitations. That music you think classic was ... 
Felt Kuti for newbies
Gentlemen, Confusion and Shuffering and Shmiling are near flawless. The rest are split between very good - stuff like Opposite People - or not good at all. Allmusic is your friend here. 
Innuos: A Cautionary Tale.
Then you might want to get clued up on Innuos @tomcy6. They provide superb personalised service for anyone who owns one of their products regardless of how they came to it. I have heard numerous examples through my dealer; the dealer network and f... 
Innuos Zenith MK3
@travisg I’ve had a Zenith 3 since December 2020. All their products are elegant and simplicity itself. They largely just work and their customer service is personal and outstanding. The 2.05 update and new Sense app have introduced an element of ... 
Innuos: A Cautionary Tale.
Utterly bewildered as to why Innuos take a bashing here at all. If you buy from someone who is not an authorised dealer then caveat emptor. I don’t see why Innuos would be obliged to tell you anything legally or even morally nor, more importantly,...
