Do a free trial of Qobuz. Not the best interface I’ll admit, but it’s not bad and, at least for me, the higher level of sound quality along with a ton of hi-res material available makes it more than worth it. Most people here prefer Qobuz for the same reason, and I don’t recall anyone using Deezer in a good system, but I could be wrong. Hey, it’s free to try Qobuz so why not? Just my $0.02 FWIW.
Multiple inputs on DAC
I have a Shiit Bifrost DAC. It has multiple inputs for optical, RCA. Ect. It seems it auto scans for an active source and selects it. I thought about connecting my Innuos player to the Bifrost via RCA. However, the Blusound 2i streamer is always on. I wonder if this DAC is meant for only one input device?
Can I connect both inputs live and manually select the Innous? Or will that configuration blow the DAC or amp?
Will I need to purchase another separate DAC for the innuous? The innuous is lacking low end bass with the built in DAC. Playing the same music on each device, the player is better on mid and highs, the streamer gets bass all the way down. Thank you PCR

Forget the internal DAC in the Innuos — your Bifrost DAC is better. Looks like Schiit uses a proprietary USB input so I’d tend to go with that out of your Innuos. Here’s a very good USB cable that won’t break the bank but physically separates the data and power legs of the cable that you don’t tend to find until spending much more $$$. https://www.lavricables.com/cables/ultimate-silver-dual-usb-a-b-interconnect-cable/ After that, your most cost-effective upgrade may be a used Innuos linear power supply for your Zen Mini you can get for $400-$500 — it takes your streamer to a much higher level of performance. Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
