| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? Two points,1. musicmann1- there are posts on this on various forums but I remember setting the Innuos to experimental mode and then in Roon selecting squeezlite or squeezebox option.2. Just downloaded 2.0.7- am I imagining Tidal sounds better? | |
| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. I had a Yggy and while many love theirs it never seemed right to me. If you use your Jays transport a lot then changing to a better DAC that takes I2S is something to consider. I moved to a Denafrips Terminator then Terminator Plus, I feel they... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) Digital is a very deep and winding rabbit hole but a potentially fun journey. Long and short of it everything matters which means there's lots of avenues for improvement after you start.First buy used for best value and return when upgrading. Ge... | |
| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? I had 3 dedicated lines installed a year ago and now wish I had 5. Each line had a new breaker, I wish I had replaced all the breakers.I have a PS Audio P10 Powerplant. I never get 0 % distortion but the readout says it is better. I have notice... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound vs. Roon Nucleus I purchased a used Antipodes Core to run Roon and it was an improvement as it is purpose built for that task. But I don't use it for Roon anymore it just a NAS now.I have an Innuos server and Roon was better on the Innuos than the Antipodes when ... | |
| Digital upgrade: new disc player or better streamer? I have seen posts but have not experienced that top flight transports will better top flight streamers. I am too inconvenienced to spin discs or vinyl.I have 3 music servers and they all sound different.Recently Innuos released a player app for t... | |
| What is wrong with my system? What power conditioning and noise control are you using. Dedicated lines for your amps, pre amp and digital gear will add life.Separate power conditioners for your pre amp and digital gear will help with noise.Keeping all SMPS's off your AC lines... | |
| Sophia Electric is not honest Bought a rectifier tube for my Decware pre amp. It was much better than what it replaced. I don't remember any issues with the purchase. | |

| PS audio new 25K dac and the psychological effect of owning a company's best. I purchased a PS Audio Powerplant P10 when it was their top of the line regenerator. I remember it being around $ 5K. It sucked the life out of my amplifiers, there are also several settings that dramatically change the sonic signature- I can't... | |
| Server/Source Recommendation For Denafrips Terminator The Terminator sounds best with I2S vs USB but the USB and or I2S cable makes or breaks the deal. I use an Iris between my server and Terminator Plus. I spent more each on the power cord and I2S cable than for the Iris but its all about what you... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality The quality of your streaming from Tidal, etc will largely depend on the quality of your network. You should have at least one quality switch like a Etherregen or one of the myriad just recently released switches. The switch should have a qualit... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Adding and clocking a Denafrips Iris DDC for I2S input to the Terminator Plus was a near Damn moment compared to the straight USB from an Innuos Statement.What was a Damn moment was when Innuos released their InnuOS 2.0 and I was able to dump Roon... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. I had a Decware CSP3. It was a lot of fun tube rolling the input, output and rectifier tubes. It has potentiometers on the input and output tubes that further affect the character of the tube sound. You can make it lean or lush depending on you... |
