@lanx0003 congrats on the purchase of the Innuos. I'm quite happy with mine.
I do use the cd ripper as well. I have several cds that aren't available to stream. It's pretty convenient to add them to the Sense library.

@sls883 Thanks. It has been a long journey in the quest for a second streamer. I went through quite a few options, including the Node Icon and Eversolo T8, but neither one really worked out for me. That changed when I took a leap of faith and clinched a deal on the Zen 3. I’m quite happy with it. |
