| Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound Most folks running Roon cant compare it to something else so they wont know how if affects SQ. Roon on an Innuos server in Experimental mode easily bests Roon. My experience is Innuos Sense is much better than Experimental mode, big drop in ... | |
| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass Added 2 REL S/5 SHO with their longbow wireless to Maggie 3.7i's. I don't have to worry about placement except for the AC power, no speaker wires to the subs. Opens up the soundstage, very clean and detailed bass. The wireless SMPS's are noisy ... | |
| Sonus Faber surprise FWIW, I found with Maggies that initially they were bright (they even come with resistors to damp the HF. I did not like the effect of the resistors. What I found was that I was hearing noise and distortion from AC, cables, and gear. My Maggie... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling I have an Innuos Statement and as I understand essentially has a Phoenix built in. Adding an ER was beneficial, as was then adding a SOtM ngh10. I agree the EE 8Switch was not as profound as the ER or SOtM but I keep it in the chain as does hel... | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please I have an Allnic L7000 SE and have no reservations recommending it. Used under 10K. | |
| Preamp Opinion I had a Freya and thought it offered a ton of features for the price but I never liked the sound even after rolling tubes. I also found it noisy.I had a Decware CSP3 and while it was very simple I really liked the sound, but it was also a bit noi... | |
| Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max I have Pass XA 60.8's with Allnic L-7000 pre amp. Very smooth and detailed. I am driving Magnepan 3.7i's with REL subs. I find the bass quality varies a lot with cables and other gear but it is very clean and detailed also. | |

| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? Two points,1. musicmann1- there are posts on this on various forums but I remember setting the Innuos to experimental mode and then in Roon selecting squeezlite or squeezebox option.2. Just downloaded 2.0.7- am I imagining Tidal sounds better? | |
| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. I had a Yggy and while many love theirs it never seemed right to me. If you use your Jays transport a lot then changing to a better DAC that takes I2S is something to consider. I moved to a Denafrips Terminator then Terminator Plus, I feel they... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) Digital is a very deep and winding rabbit hole but a potentially fun journey. Long and short of it everything matters which means there's lots of avenues for improvement after you start.First buy used for best value and return when upgrading. Ge... | |
| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? I had 3 dedicated lines installed a year ago and now wish I had 5. Each line had a new breaker, I wish I had replaced all the breakers.I have a PS Audio P10 Powerplant. I never get 0 % distortion but the readout says it is better. I have notice... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound vs. Roon Nucleus I purchased a used Antipodes Core to run Roon and it was an improvement as it is purpose built for that task. But I don't use it for Roon anymore it just a NAS now.I have an Innuos server and Roon was better on the Innuos than the Antipodes when ... | |
| Digital upgrade: new disc player or better streamer? I have seen posts but have not experienced that top flight transports will better top flight streamers. I am too inconvenienced to spin discs or vinyl.I have 3 music servers and they all sound different.Recently Innuos released a player app for t... | |
| What is wrong with my system? What power conditioning and noise control are you using. Dedicated lines for your amps, pre amp and digital gear will add life.Separate power conditioners for your pre amp and digital gear will help with noise.Keeping all SMPS's off your AC lines... |
