Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui
Congrats on the MMT and your retirement system. I retired 6 years ago and my system has given me many years of great listening pleasure, so glad I have it. The MMT has always intrigued me, but being retired does limit my interest levels in more Hi... 
Separates vs Integrated
Integrateds that are dual mono based perform very well, my Sim Audio 700i is a great Integrated dual mono based,. I believe the Hegel you mention is also dual mono based.  
So, I bought a Chord Hugo TT2...now what?
I have the Zen MK 3 and I’ve kept my Node 2i, I really like the voicing (not the DAC) of the Node as an alternative to the Innuos both feed into my Denafrips T2 12 and both sound great. The Bluesound OS is good, overall it’s not as good a streamer... 
Innuos Zen mk3 NG and Zenith mk3 NG introduced at Munich
@skinzy Which Innuos streamer are you using now? How have you enjoyed the Phoenix USB? I’m looking to add the Phoenix to my Zen mk3, but wondering how much improvement I will experience. I also have an excellent clock in my Denafrips Terminator 2,... 
Ethernet cable for music streaming
For extender I use a tp link AX3000, it’s 99 from Amazon. Works great, it’s in my upstairs loft and the router is in my basement. Great strong reception it has one out for Ethernet cable. Simple set up.   
Wifi ethernet jack recommendation
I have used the tp link AX 3000 range expander, I see them for $ 99 on line.Works great, runs Wi-Fi with an out Ethernet jack. Great reception, it is in my upstairs loft and my router is in the basement.   
Innuos OS Update 2.6.3
Thanks @randymaqp   
Streamer and Dac ~$4.5k for Vinnie Rossi, Dynaudio system
The Vinni Rossi room at Axpona was amazingly good as noted above. He used a Mola Mola Tambacqui Dac and the Innuos Statement streamer for his digital front end, to approximate that package sound I agree with Sioux recommendation above. I’m using a... 
Denafrips Terminator II 12th anniversary VS. Terminator PLUS 12th anniversary
I have the T2 12th running with a Mini Zen 3 and LPS, my understanding is the mini with the LPS is about 90% of the Zen Mk 3. The synergy of the mini/LPs with the T2 is very good. Big soundstage on depth height and width, instrument placement is e... 
Network Streamer using Wifi connected to a MHDT Orchid
Thanks, I got the model you recommended, works great, easy set up. I’m getting a Zen Mark 3 soon, how are you enjoying yours, I’m replacing my Eversolo A6. Hoping the Innuos will be a big step up sonically, I’ve read the zen Mk3 sounds amazing, bi... 
Network Streamer using Wifi connected to a MHDT Orchid

A quick question on what streamers to consider.......
@ghdprentice could you say which Wi-Fi extender you’ve used. I’m looking for one. Thanks.

Audioengine B1, works great, sounds great, and is easy to use. Has its own Dac, priced new at 199.00. You can get from Music Direct or a number of other places that will ship same day. Many reviews on line.  
How many of you believe in MQA?
Larry there is a field under Settings on BluOS App, that refers to MQA External DAC. It took me a while to find access to it. I think you need to engage it if you have an external Dac that does MQA. I don’t have an external MQA Dac, so I don’t hav...
