Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
I’ve been a Zenith 3 owner since last December. Chord Hugo TT2 DAC into Naim amplification and Zu speakers. There’s an impedance mismatch between the Naim and the Zu which results in erratic bass and mids. Eventually I figured the amps would go to... 
Problems with Innuos Music Library missing covers
1.4.8 allegedly due this weekend but so far radio silence. 
Decware - any substance here?
I’m looking at the SE84UFO also to pair with Zu Soul Superfly. I’m assuming from @gopher that this won’t be an issue. Source will be an Innuos Zenith going USB into a Chord Hugo TT2 DAC. Thoughts? 
Problems with Innuos Music Library missing covers
Interesting. I’ve had this problem a few times but a library rescan/rebuild has always fixed it. Good to know 1.4.8 is on its way given that 2.0 is expected by the end of May. 
Streamers with best apps?
End of May there will be a new app from Innuos. The blog on their site about it is mightily impressive. Likely to be the first of many putting pressure on Roon by doing what they do at jest as well if but better. 
Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them?
Can someone explain why the Supremes are says to mate wuth solid state or valves but the Superfly only with valves? 
16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical.
So, suggested integrated solid state options for a 16ohm speaker would be... 
Best Pre/Amp or Integrated for Zu Essence
Thoughts on mating the Lavardin with Superfly @213cobra?@213cobra? 
Zu Soul Superfly
Interesting development (well, I’ve done further reading). Lavardin solid state integrated looks a feasible option. I’m getting the impression that 8ohm amps are fine with the Superfly and, whilst most prefer valves, there is a small subset of sol... 
Zu Soul Superfly
@cat_doorman it’s an option mooted on a couple of other forums and indeed it’s suggested as one of the original design objectives by Rob Watts. However, I asked Chord directly and they’ve changed their minds as it’s not what the output stage was d... 
Zu Soul Superfly
So, been a while and I’ve just done a fairly radical update to my system. Have binned my Naim CDX2 source after 18 years and the realisation that it’s now too harsh for my ageing tinnitus ridden ears allied to a plain simple lack of space for any ... 
Are Innuos about to lunch new models?
Have spoken to Innuos this week. No plans for mark 4 modems as yet.  
Help with DAC and Streamer suggestions
@audiotroy ”The 432 evo has been taking over the server market in europe”. News to those of us who live in Europe where Innuos has basically been doing what you suggest the 432 evo has been doing. 8 dealers in the UK last I checked. None of them e... 
Zu Soul Superfly
And then the Hi-Cap came off the pre (202) and lo, mid-band warmth of the kind that IME only Zu do suddenly starts to appear.In the process I've lost a little air and detail around the instruments but gained some slam and finally get to hear that ... 
Did anyone hear the Zu room at CES/THE 2011?
Have a read on here and the Zu site about just what happened at that show and you'll be mightily impressed they showed up let alone stayed. Zu speakers are probably the most engaging speakers I've heard but the Dominance was very much there by the...
