| a remarkably basic question about Roon @northman : You got this right! The purpose of a Nucleus is though not useless. The idea is to "free" your laptop, and run Roon Core (the server) in a dedicated headless machine that stays always on. You can accomplish this not just via a Nucleus,... | |
| a remarkably basic question about Roon Roon needs a server (they call it "Core") to run the program, and a streamer (what they call "end point") to stream to your DAC. They can often be one and the same (i.e. a laptop you connect directly to DAC via USB). A quick look at the Roon R... | |

| Pimping your router Digital has advanced tremendously in the relatively short period of time since the CDs were introduced, then streaming. Along with better understanding of what’s needed to make better sound, design, and implementation. Meanwhile, some folks are st... | |
| Zavfino Thanks for sharing your impressions @sdl4 and thanks for pointing to that fairly recent review on Zavfino I was not aware of. Simple writing but to the point. I would also say, like I have said earlier, the Zavfino effect in one’s system is cu... | |
| Ethernet Clocking Dude! You are on every single thread here (and God knows in how many forums) beating the same old drum | |
| Does Lumin x1 needs a dac ? does a good dac will improve it ? The LUMIN X1 is their flagship DAC at $14,000. You cannot possibly add another DAC to it. It simply does not make sense. Are there better DACs? Of course. But then you would buy those presumably better DACs instead of the LUMIN X1, and not in addi... | |
| Ethernet Clocking I’d say let’s all welcome @lmcmalo here. We may disagree in several topics, but he seems completely ingenious in what he says and appears to have a very good technical understanding and hands on experience, audio or not. Let’s not confuse him ... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? Hi @arafiq When you use Zenith as Roon Core, do you also use it as a streamer? In other words, USB out from your Zenith to your DAC? I terms of copying your music in your SonicTransporter to the internal SSD in your Zenith, you do it via ... | |
| Zavfino @abd1 The standard bananas are BFA , not locking. You have to specifically order locking bananas. I know very well, I have ordered and own their speaker cables with BFA bananas https://zavfinousa.com/products/prima-speaker-cable | |
| What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ? Please do not feed the Troll. It empowers them. Ignore them | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? You are welcome @arafiq I don’t think you can do native DSD with Squeezebox via Roon. You can however do DoP (DSD via PCM ) Go to Settings on Roon, then Audio, select your Zenith under Squeezebox, Device Setup little icon to the right, sw... | |
| What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ? Wow!! Are you OK buddy? Did you forget your meds today? richopp 517 posts 11-26-2021 9:26am @thyname Yes, it has. Like I typed, pretty much all USB cables are the same. YES, THEY ARE THE SAME. (I thought if I typed it in all caps mayb... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @arafiq You will have to enable Squeezebox support on Roon first under Settings, then Setup. A small toggle In button down below on the list. ‘’Then again on Roon Settings, under Audio, disable what shows under “connected to Core” uptop, then ... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @grannyring : I just got the Zenith brand new the other day, and yes, I made sure it had the most current 2.0.8 version (it did). As you said, everything is subjective, we all hear and like differently. |
