Aurender vs. Roon
Ah OK @grannyring  I thought you were asking me, as your post was immediately after mine. I admit the Audiogon Forum format is confusing, as there are no features like "reply" or "quote". My bad.So you were asking @audiotroy  ? 
Aurender vs. Roon
@grannyringWhy don’t you ask Innuos direct or your dealer @grannyring ?If you were asking me, how long does it take if ordering one today, I don’t have an answer to that. I am not a dealer, neither do I want to ask them, as I already got mine 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Got a link to that @mzkmxdkfhfnms ? 
Aurender vs. Roon
I got mine (ZENith MK3) a couple of weeks ago. I am in USA. I was in preorder since November.When did you order yours?Yes, they sold out first batch of MK3 on preorders alone. 
Aurender vs. Roon
Best of both worlds: get an Innuos (ZEN Mini, ZEN, or ZENith, depending on your budget), to use as a server, AND endpoint, with Roon!And if you don't have (or don't want) a Roon sub, you can use Innuos with other apps, such as iPeng 9 on iPhone, o... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
So here is some anecdotal on "deniers" - those who claim they hear no difference:A bunch of them were gathered in a blind test, where some speaker cables were to be tested - generic zip cord vs. a high end speaker cable - or so they were told.Then... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
You guys are wasting your time. You cannot win any argument with any cable deniers folks. That's the reality. They will never submit to actually trying stuff, instead, asking us to provide proof and measurements. They often throw in some mumbo-jum... 
Isotek Sigmas EVO3 mains filtering conditions findings
Isotek does good stuff. I have their Aquarius power conditioner and very happy with it.Maybe one day I will upgrade to Sigmas. They tend to get pretty expensive once you climb their “ladder” 
Solid Silver Power Cord
I ended up ordering two pairs of Crystal Clear Magnum Opus XLR interconnects. This time directly from Mel - the cable maker.Being made to order, he did not have any in stock, it will take a week or two to get them. Cannot wait. 
Solid Silver Power Cord
My pleasure @david_ten !You can try contacting this:pkmaudio1@yahoo.com  
Solid Silver Power Cord
Fair question @respected_ent  !Maybe because they sell direct, with no marketing budget and no dealer network? More often times than not, cables are sold (by dealers, marketing outreach, etc.) rather than bought.I did talk to a few previous owners... 
Solid Silver Power Cord
I thought I give an update for anyone following this thread (OP here), simply because I could not stay silent.So I bought a Crystal Clear Audio Magnum Opus power cord that showed up so conveniently here on Audiogon.Three letter for you: O.M.G.!! I... 
Solid Silver Power Cord
Any experience here with Crystal Clear Magnum Opus power cords?There is one for sale here at a good price.Although pure silver, reading the specs, they say 6N Silver wire, vs 7N on Cabledyne and Wireworld Platinum Electra  
Music streamer with no DAC and no storage?
All I was saying @big_greg is that there are better streamers out there. A resolving systems (DAC, speakers, amp, etc.) will highly benefit by a good streamer. The better the streamer is, the better the system will sound. Not a knock on Node2.I us... 
Music streamer with no DAC and no storage?
Awesome @big_greg ! Good for you!Honest question: have you tried any alternative streamer to feed your $3,500 DAC ? Everything sounds great until you try something better. If all streamers sound the same, why don't you get a  Chromecast Audio at $...
