| Are there any more good multi format disc players out there? If you cant get yours fixed this might be your best option… https://www.ebay.com/itm/195278625432 I’m really not interested in streaming. I like physical media. And does streaming really sound better? Don’t forget, I’m mostly interested in the ... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @auroravengeance Did you have to do anything to get the Douk to work with the Pegasus? I have both but I get no sound when trying to use the Douk into the Pegasus’ i2S input. Thanks for any tips. | |
| tube pre & ss amp integrated The most important consideration is what sound characteristics you’re looking for. Are you looking for something more neutral or more in the more traditional warmer tube sound? What other aspects are important to you? That said, the MA352 puts ... | |
| Help with iFi Zen Stream and mconnect HD @jackd The ifi.local site is a bit of a bugger. I found that once I connect the Zen Stream to Wi-Fi on my iPad I can then go back to ifi.local and it actually works. iFi has some work to do. | |
| Help with iFi Zen Stream and mconnect HD @jackd Thanks for the suggestion, and I think you’re probably on to something with the IP address thing as mconnect is clearly not recognizing the ZS for some reason. There is no iFi app involved, only the mconnect HD app and http://ifi.local sit... | |

| Sound quality of Roon If you get the Zen Mini it’s pretty much mandatory you get their upgraded LPS as it significantly increases performance. The DAC in the Mini is nothing special so plan to upgrade that asap. The thing is, once you add the LPS to the Mini you’re kno... | |
| Lumin U2 Mini Maybe give Innuos a call, tell them you’re interested in their streamers and ask them how you can most effectively get your stored music into their server. Best to go right to the source, and their customer service has a good rep. | |
| Lumin U2 Mini In this case I wouldn’t worry about a lateral move — it’s a solid bet either the Lumin or Innuos will provide significant sonic benefits you’ll hear immediately. Did you load any CDs into the Vault? I’ve got a lot of CDs I love that will likely ... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @viethluu Thanks for the heads up. If the Mercury can provide performance closer to the Phoenix at a price closer to the SU-6 I’m all in. Hey, it’s nice being able to look forward to adding a DDC in the future knowing you’re gonna get a signific... | |
