| Ethernet opinions Lots of advice, some good some meh. Here's more. Isolating your system from ethernet noise is your goal. First an audiophile switch just before your system with a LPS and second an ethernet cable with filter like the ENO. Don't believe the knu... | |
| Innuos and Roon? I used Roon on my Statement which also runs an Intel Quad Core processor. Roon ran fine running both Core and Endpoint on the Statement. It sounded a little better when I used an Antipodes Core as the Roon Core (Innuos recognizes the Antipodes C... | |
| Why do I need a switch? First, know I have fully gone to the Dark Side of internet switches. I started with a Etherregen with a quality LPS, added a SOtM with a quality LPS switch then the English Electric with a quality LPS. I clock the Etherregen and SOtM with a Mute... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil Less is More, is it a quality dac ? I a Yggy several years ago, I also had a W4S DAC. I initially I preferred the Yggy but after having both upgraded the W4S was better and I sold the Yggy. I sold the W4S for a Terminator and then sold that for a Terminator plus. I would go Denaf... | |
| Quobuz subscription @mlsstl Seems to me he is bagging on Qobuz and promoting Tidal. I’m just saying -and I think most of the world agrees- Qobuz is superior to Tidal with few exceptions. | |
| Quobuz subscription Qobuz is hands down better than Tidal. There may be something off with your playback. Maybe try deleting and reinstalling Qobuz. You are using the Hi-Rez streaming? Doesn't make sense. | |
| streaming and audiophile stereo In a good system Digital Playback is a Poster child for the old Linn proverb: “Garbage in, Garbage out”. A good system will provide an un-merciful rendition of a poorly handled digital source, the better the system the more agonizing the renditio... | |
| The revolution has begun! Now I am worried. Beta was better than VHS, now it's gone. HD video was better than Blu-Ray, now it's gone. Now they are after Class A. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? I used Roon for a year. After careful listening I felt the DSP functions were like using PhotoShop, it just added a layer of digital noise and made listening fatiguing, but fun to play with. I don't miss it. Innuos Sense is hands down better so... | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup Yes to a ethernet filter like the ENO or SOtM dcbl. Yes to the EtherRegen using it as a "Moat". The ER is better with a good LPS and a better clock. The clock needs a good LPS also. Managing AC noise with something like an Akiko Corelli and gr... | |
| Streamer/CD ripper +1 Innuos. Free Sense app sounds better than Roon and its free. Use the money saved for Qobuz. Sense directly integrates with Qobuz, so no Qobuz app needed. My ripped files sounded better than from CD so I sold the player and put the CD's in s... | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @antigrunge2 I have a MUTEC Ref 10 on the EtherRegen and SOtM switches. @russellrcncom I haven't seen that review, the ENO filter is beneficial in terms of relaxing the presentation and reducing noise (better detail and blackness). It was bette... | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC You can run Qobuz with the Innuos Sense App. The Sense App sounds better than Roon AND the are no subscription fees. Rip your files in WAV not FLAC, it definitely sounds better. Innuos has an Off-line mode that stops the ethernet input from add... | |
| Grounding with a Earth box? I have 2 CAD box's, a GC1 and GC3. Brought my system to a new level! | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? I tried fiber and it wasn't right for me. It is a rabbit hole and you wont get to the promised land via Amazon. I wish I had seen this before trying it. I have an ENO AG filter and it is nice. I like the SOtM Cat7u better, I havent he... |
