| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. I'll go back to analog when I can surf from my laptop or can afford a lacky to clean and flip records for me...go ahead and kick me to the curb for being a lazy ass | |
| UpTone USB REGEN With Schiit DACS Had a Yggy and W4S MS1, I used 2 REGENs back to back and liked it more than just one. | |
| The indisputable benefit of fiber for music Using fiber between Etherregen and SOtM switch. Found that choice of SFP's will make or break the deal.Also found the ENO filter and EE 8Switch are keepers. | |
| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy Perceived value is can be emotional or monetary. Audiophiles are a diverse group. Price sensitivity has different ceilings for each of us. Most of us won't blink at spending $ 50 for a immediately perceived improvement and at that price would c... | |
| Help me understand better solutions for ethernet ENO works.So does the EtherregenI run fiber but never really listened for benefit-it helps me sleep at night not worrying, but I think I have the wrong SFP modules, so waiting for modules and cable from Sonore. will test for benefit soonAdded a c... | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly I have single mode fiber between an ER and sNH G10. I recently added a master clock to the ER. The noise level dropped a ton and the details and reverberation are amazing. However I now recognize a bit of edginess in the upper frequencies that ... | |
| what is the advantage of having a Roon core that's not on your computer? Moved Roon Core off my Innuos to an Antipodes Core and left the Innuos as the endpoint. Lower noise, better music.For me it was better than Experimental Mode on the Innuos with the DSP to DSD from Roon.I also use a Denafirps Iris DDC to I2S and a... | |
| Innuos: A Cautionary Tale. I also bought a used Statement about a year ago. I remember prompt responses from Innuos to questions. Hardware is performing perfectly. Had questions about set up, using iPeng and Roon.Love my Statement. | |
| Streamer or DDC I have a great USB source from an Innuos Statement. I added a Denafrips DDC to I2S and also found significant improvements over the Statements USB. Also the I2S cable matters. | |
| A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics in spite of the return policy I immediately felt I made a mistake after I hit the buy button for the ENO Ag. When it came I was disappointed, its plastic and feather weight. I was sure I made a mistake and almost sent it back without trying it.... | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly I have optical between an ER and SOtM switch. Then Ethernet between the SOtM and EE8 Switch which feeds an Innuos Server and also from the SOtM to an Antipodes Core running Roon Core. I use SOtM cables with filters and they have a very pleasing ... | |
| Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs I have Pass XA60.8 amps. I have tried somewhat expensive SE cables and somewhat expensive XLR to my Allnic L-7000 pre-amp and to me the XLR carries more weight, clarity and enjoyment but I have gone thru several upgrades in gear and think I will ... | |
| Uptone EtherRegen Started with the Etherregen, then added the SOtM cLK, then optical fiber between the two, then EE 8Switch. It keeps getting better.LPS1.2 on Etherregen. Farad on SOtM. JS-2 on 8Switch. | |
| Tried DSD? I thought DSD didn't sound right with my earlier DAC's but still purchased a fair number because they were different and very rich sounding. I now have a Terminator Plus and use Roon to convert PCM to DSD512 and prefer it. And my DSD files sound... | |
| Streamers with I2S connectivity The I2S is the best input for the Terminator. I improved the USB output of an Innuos Statement with the Denafrips Iris DDC and not by a little bit. |
