| Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II) @doni I can't help you there I'm afraid; never heard the PS Audio. There is a good, sober review of the Cen Grand Super Clock which I have, by The British Audiophile. He mentions a hum, but mine is deathly quiet however, all my electronics are fe... | |
| Network/Ethernet Improvements Suggestions Thanks for all the advice guys, much appreciated đ Streamer it is, I'm convinced after removing the media converters | |
| Network/Ethernet Improvements Suggestions @audphile1Â @marco1Â I've tried cutting out the media converters and going ethernet straight into the regular switch, which feeds the NA ENO; got to admit, I find music pops more/a better 3D presentation/greater depth - I feel like the media conve... | |
| Network/Ethernet Improvements Suggestions @creativepart  Thanks for this. I've also read somewhere that using an optic "firebreak" in the chain can bring it's own issues, can't remember what that was now. DAC is a Cen Grand DSDAC 1.0 Super Clock -> Marantz Model 30 -> ATC SCM40's... | |
| Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated @cdc here's the link to Stoll's site, and the current version of the IN80 Signature. You may have to use Google Translate as the site is in French; https://www.atoll-electronique.com/produits/ampli-preampli-integres/integre-in80-signature/  | |
| Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated @cdc I took the opposite journey to your good self; I started off with the qualities you're looking for, but wanted more "polite". I re-started my HiFi life after 20+ years with Naim, which is where I ended my first hifi journey. Didn't really e... | |

| Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II) @ja_kub_sz I'm glad to know your dealer is working with you on this; it can be nerve-racking buying gear from a relatively unknown manufacturer (unknown in the West anyway). I know my dealer spoke to Cen Grand about this, as he's taken a gamble to... | |

| Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II) @ja_kub_sz I was gutted with the first unit, the Standard version, as I took a punt on Cen Grand over the Pontus. I tried various things, while on the phone to my distributor here in the UK, but nope, definitely a fault with the unit. I asked m... | |
| Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II) Hi @ja_kub_sz thanks for your post. I'm glad you're enjoying your Cen Grand. Can't believe mu OP was over a year ago; boy how the time flies Anyway, thanks for your post; your observations certainly match my own. I did however have issues with m... | |
| Innuos Sense cannot connect to Qobuz Update: I still couldn't get in to Qobuz via Sense but emailed Innuos Support yesterday afternoon, and received a reply this afternoon. The solution was to find my Zen Mini interface on my home network, via web address, then try and login to Qobu... | |
| Innuos Sense cannot connect to Qobuz Yep, just tried reverting back to Sense, but still no login pop-up for Qobuz | |
| Innuos Sense cannot connect to Qobuz Ah that is good news, thanks so much. I reactivated Roon just so I could work to music, as Qobuz was fine through Roon. Â I'll revert back to Sense ASAP. Â Thanks again, much appreciated đ | |
| Upgrade from BS Node 2i? Hi OP Maybe consider the Innuos Zen series; with the launch of the new Pulse range of streamers, it's possible to find pre-loved Innuos Zen units on auction sites at good prices, such as the Innuos Zen Mini Mkiii, as users upgrade to the Pulse mo... |
