New streamer or dac?
Hi @bikeboy52 : what is your DAC right now?  
Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound
Disclaimer: those who believe digital is zeroes and ones, “bit perfect” know-it-alls experts, either it works or does not, please do no read, and ignore:   Roon network protocol,RAAT (Roon Advanced Audio Transport) is somewhat primitive, old, an... 
Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound
My experiences are exactly the same @dougthebiker ! This was my second time around with Innuos, in about a year, but I did notice the Roon Squeezelite Experimental mode is much more stable this time compared to the last time. Almost flawless

Audioquest power cords Hurricane and up are very good. I used to own a few Hurricanes, and a few below. At this point becomes a personal preference, and value for the dollar. As cliché as this sounds, you will need to try and compare in your own s...

It depends on what you are using it on @pguezze    Majestic MKII is 12 gauge. For amps I would recommend Prima MKII which is 10 gauge, and a more advanced shielding. They are both OCC conductors.   There is also Fina at 14 gauge, cheaper, also...

Tough crowd 😂😂   My guess is streamline of the manufacturing processes, avoiding necessary expenses coming up with different lengths, so the most common denominator is made available. Just a guess. Totally normal for a small company   
What's up with Innuos?
Which Phoenix did you order? The NET or the USB?  
Ethernet Clocking
Which USB cable did you buy if I may ask? And to connect what to what? Thank you   
What's up with Innuos?
But @cfarrow you need to have the server (Roon Core) somewhere, right? I am familiar with Esoteric. I have the N-01XD  
What's up with Innuos?

What's up with Innuos?
@arafiq   I might be in the minority here, but I kinda prefer the SQ from Roon Maybe minority, but certainly not alone  
What's up with Innuos?
Innuos Sense app is a mess. All sorts of issues, and often times unusable (the dreaded spinning wheel). I quit using it with my new ZENith MK3. Strictly Roon now. If I would change any settings I go to the browser (my.innuos.com).   
a remarkably basic question about Roon
Sorry I am not familiar ... the Zen Stream is a streaming device, USB out to DAC? And you can use this as a Roon endpoint too?
