Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?

I compared the two as I am a lifetime Roon customer.  I prefer the sound of the new Innuos Sense music app.  More natural and less electronic or digital sounding.  Not day and night, but better. My big issue is Innuos Sense does not seem to keep playing music, like Roon, when the album is complete.  Roon had a Radio switch that played artists similar to the artist as a continuous stream and I loved it.  Heard many new artists I loved this way.  
Anyone know if Innuos Sense has a similar setting? I can’t seem to find it.

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 the InnuOS interface (switch Roon toggle button off first). Leave the SonicTransport in the network. Then use the “NAS” import method via InnuOS. 

This will copy what is in SonicTransport without touching what is already in the Zenith. Once all this complete, you can switch back to Roon

Thanks @thyname . I tried the solution you posted above, but for whatever reason the files won't show up in Roon. I tried another workaround using Soundiiz that worked quite well actually. From within Roon, I exported the playlists and albums into a Soundiiz-compatible CSV format. Then using Soundiiz, I imported them into Qobuz. All my playlists and albums now show up in Roon. Your help is much appreciated.

A quick update to this thread. Innuos Sense has just released the 2.2.2 update and it sounds even better folks. To my ears the sound quality improvement is not minor, but rather impressive across the board. Innuos owners you’re in for a treat. It’s so wonderful to get a nice upgrade in sound quality for free! Love it.

Hi @grannyring and everybody else:

Currently I use Roon, but would like to get the better sound I have heard people are able to get from Innuos Sense and even from Qobuz going direct into the DAC. I like Roon because of its ease of use and its database handling features but also need its DSP functionality. I am prepared to give up on Roon's database handling and overall ease of use but need a DSP function for sure with my system. Is there any way of getting an Innuous server to perform any DSP without engaging Roon within the Innuos server?

It seems to me from reading the Innuos manuals and website that I might be out of luck in my quest. But just thought I would check. Also perhaps there are other hardware or software options that folks may know of.

Thank you

No DSP with Innuos Sense. Period.

 

May I ask, why do you NEED DSP? Headphone user?
