| Preamp upgrade @vthokie83 Great advice and I completely agree with you. I have the Supratek Grange Signature preamp with Phono stage that includes the LCR circuit and Lundahl inductors and it is by far the best full function preamp I’ve owned. I’ve had all t... | |
| Looking for a new Subwoofer OP, just take Duke’s advice and get his Swarm DBA system. Read the reviews and in your price range. Mine integrated seamlessly to my Magico S3 MK II’s in a relatively small room and transformed my system. . | |
| Streamer question @gkelly Sounds like we followed the same upgrade path. What’s your impression of the PULSE? | |
| Streamer question +1 on the Innuos Sense App. I am also an Innuos Sense convert having moved from a Roon Roc as a dedicated streamer to a PULSEmini with a Keces P3 LPS. A very good upgrade especially sound quality wise using the Sense App over Roon and of co... | |

| Innuos PULSE Mini? @j_andrews I haven't but might be interesting. For that matter, I haven't tried the PulseMini DAC to compare to the Pontus II. I'll have to try it both ways one of these days. | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? I am also using the PulseMini and powering it with a Keces P3 LPS. It is feeding a Denafrips Iris and out via I2S to a Pontus II. Great digital front end for the money, especially using the Sense App as has been noted all over the forum. I was ... | |
| Adding a Dac and Stresmer @soix I never actually tried it without the LPS as I had it already set up and just plugged it in. My guess is that it was an incremental improvement but my real surprise was with the Sense app and the quality versus using Roon. I didn’t want it... | |
| Adding a Dac and Stresmer @soix This is the exact digital front end I am using, Innuos Pulse Mini to Iris to Pontus II via I2S. The Pulse Mini running the Sense app was a big step up from the Roon Nucleus I was using as a streamer with Roon even though I am a big fan of... | |

| Digital Upgrade Recommendations Thanks guys for all the inputs. It is a slippery slope you can go down but I’m primarily a vinyl guy and really just wanted to get advice on which of the three well-regarded upgrades would give the best sound improvement for my digital setup at t... | |
| Digital Upgrade Recommendations Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions so far. The Nucleus is running solely as the streamer as I have the Roon core on a separate computer in the office serving all of the Roon endpoints in my house. So that one I've done already. JJSS4... | |
| Digital Upgrade Recommendations No, Cat 6 from router to Nucleus. | |
| Digital Upgrade Recommendations Thanks jjss49 but if A+B makes C redundant, why not just go with C, the DDC? Won’t the DDC clean up the digital signal as much as much as the Etherregen but feed I2S directly to the dac? | |
| Digital Upgrade Recommendations Thanks for the input guys. akg_ca - Which LPS are you using? |
