| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @audioman58 The embedded HQPlayer is impressive, far superior to Roon for dsp. Incredible number of settings, haven't even begun to explore many, although the settings I've used have provided very high quality sound. HQP just sounds a bit artifici... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. South Korea, and most Asian countries for that matter have thriving middle class, seems we have income issues here based on citizen discontent I observe. | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Not sure I mentioned this previously, but jitter minimization is key to best quality streaming, not sure there is any amount of jitter humans can't detect. This is where large measure of resources should be concentrated, relatively high levels of ... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? I've built a number of systems over the years, I'm not an equipment churner, rather system builder, so the following pattern repeated itself over the years. A series of upgrades resulting in marginal gains until system was completed. I considered ... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @antigrunge2 I agree clocking is critical. Attention to that paid through JCAT Net Card XE, powered by external LPS, this card has top flight clock and dedicated power supply. Sonore OpticalModule and OpticalRendu also have upgraded clocks, power ... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. I'm not going to get into the moral implications of privilege, I'd estimate all of us audiophiles in top tier here, level of guilt subjective. I do believe value for money is valid question, personally, I don't see parts and assembly costs of ... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Can't count the many times I've observed the oft repeated mantra of illogic that believes no further improvements available, and this applied to every single component in audio systems. And then these individuals open their minds to trying the thi... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? I get the logic of low power processor, minimal processing equals lower noise. But I and many others, specifically many individuals over at audiophilestyle.com have taken another path. Specifically, high power processors in custom build windows ba... | |
| Does USB quality matter when ripping CDs? Here is detailed explanation of cd ripping, http://www.dbpoweramp.com/spoons-audio-guide-cd-ripping.htm | |
| Steamer upgrade? Follow up follow up @ianrmack Plenty have described the improvements brought about by higher end streamers and network products. Assuming you have highly resolving system, generally, you're going to get more analog like presentation, should compete in same neighb... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Oh boy, more preaching from the biblical, oh forgot, measurement pulpit, you know, the place where all truths known, The heretics believe in things like ghosts and their senses, best not to trust your senses, you really aren't experiencing the thi... | |
| More Roon Questions @jbuhl You are correct no ability to download within Roon, just for streaming. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @lalitk It does appear your local library is neatly organized. Perhaps my issue is cd rips are on NAS, and Euphony OS/Stylus imports files from NAS differently than drives within streamer or usb drive, maybe a direct connection vs. going thro... | |
| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up My experience with warm up time has been so variable over thirty years, variability in comments not surprising to me. I've found system presentation or voicing, tube types and qualities, especially power tubes in amps, standby ability, number of t... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? IME Roon dsp not very good. Best sound quality attained with all user accessible settings off, therefore, no volume leveling, analysis, anything and everything set to off. These processes are purely for convenience in Roon, if one is serious about... |
