| Speaker selector that won't degrade sound I am also interested in hearing from the pro's on this subject. I'd like to run outdoor patio speakers off of my main system in the living room. To do so, I would have to run about 25-30 feet of speaker cable through the wall to my amp. I have ... | |
| Anyone move up from Innuos Zen Mini to Zenith ? I did just that and found the improvement to be significant and enjoyable. Better micro dynamics (to me, all the peripheral sounds that give a better sense of realism) and greater presence and bloom. With the Zenith, the music did not sound as t... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Best thread I've read here in a while. It confirms the self-evident, yet brutal strength of truth: it exists regardless of what I or anyone else thinks or understands. | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. Don’t know yet. College system stayed with me from the late eighties through last year when I decided to do a ’small’ upgrade. From April 2020 to date, the entire old system disappeared into the basement, the components of my new system have chang... | |
| Looking for suggestions on speakers and an integrated amp for a second system. I put together a pretty good digital system for my office about the same size as your room, that meets your budget. The system sounds great, almost as good as my main rig but really, with the bookshelf speakers, its only for relatively near field... | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. Completely agree with the above posts. My CDs are ripped to my Zenith but I tend to stream a lot of music that I would not have discovered were it not for the notes and hyperlinks found in Roon. I have always wanted to enjoy my listening time wi... | |
| Innuos owners. Chime in I think you'll like the Zenith Mk3. For me, it was a vast improvment over the Zen Mini. I found that Stillpoint Ultra Mini's worked better than Iso Acoustic Orea's under the Zenith. Far and away the largest improvement I heard came from adding ... | |
| Help me pick one of four music servers/streamersreqi @bondmanp, currently I use the Innuos Zenith MK.3 with an uptone audio ether regen. I love the Zenith and it sounds fantastic I started with the Innuos Zen Mini and LPS.. Those components were very good also and far superior to my prior CD set ... | |
| Cable for Hifi Man Sundaras I purchased a 20 foot XLR headphone cable from Audio Art -- I selected their premium version. Sounds great -- definitely better than the stock cable that came with my Audeze LCD-X phones. | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point +1"Maybe the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital priced at $499 as per your comment "Ideally something up to $500 would be nice".I use one of these in my office system. It sounds great -- on the detailed side but not shrill in any way. It works best with... | |
| New Transport? / Streamer? / CD Player? +1 @ghdprentice. Without debating the benefits of one format over another, I started much as you, wanting to enjoy my CD collection at a higher level of SQ without spending a fortune. Starting with what I thought would be a minor $600 upgr... | |
| Innuos: A Cautionary Tale. In my experience Innuos has been great. I started with the Zen Mini and LPSU and then upgraded to the Zenith MK3. The sound quality has been fantastic, much better, though, with the Zenith. I bought each of these units pre-owned from dealers. ... | |
| To Stream or Not to Stream Great advice here. I had the same issue, and thought I really needed to rip my CDs. So I bought an Innuos Zenith MK.3 ripper/streamer with 1tb of storage and subscribed to Qobuz. I find that I listen to those albums on Qobuz that I discovered t... | |
| Buying used vs new? Agree with everything said. There is a small risk finding/buying gently used, but I have had great luck with trade in's. Someone always wants the next best (more expensive) thing, no mater how good their trade in is. So, I pick up last year's m... | |
| Suggest something that plays CDs and streams for around 3000? I was in a similar situation. I need to replace my CD player and re-rip my 600 or so CD's. I started with an Innuos Zen Mini (in your price range) and ended up with an Innuos Zenith MK3. These streamers allow you to rip and store your CDs as wel... |
