Best concert you've attended

Rega P3 RS, Michell TecnoDec, Avid Ingenium
The Rega P6 includes the neo power supply.  The P3 does not. If you want the power supply, it doesn’t make sense to get the P3 because that turntable plus separate power supply doesn't cost much less than the P6/power supply and the P6 has other i... 
Listening in car
Thanks everyone...and especially GHDPrentice for all the advice.  I didn't know you could stream Qobuz in a car.  I thought you had to be in range of the Innuous to do that.  I'll give it a try and I now know how to transfer a playlist  on Sense t... 
Innuous Zenith MK3
I've had the Zenith 3 for several years and love it.  Innuous customer service is also excellent.0  
Coda 8 amp
Hi yyz. I'm the OP on this thread We've "talked" before and I believe we have similar taste.  I now wave the Krell 175xd, a Benchmark LA4 preamp, KEF Reference 5 Speakers (non meta), Innuous Zenith 3, PS Audio Directstream 2, rega planar 6. I know... 
KEF Meta speakers vs non meta
Curiousjim-I'd appreciate an update on what you learn and hear at the KEF event!  
Innuous Zenith-saving albums question
I should have included that I'm using the Sense app to access Qobuz and Tidal albums.  
Comparing Directstream 1 and 2
Thaks audphile1 for your wishes-very much appreciated. You’re absolutely correct about priorities.  I went through some scary times but things are better now and I’m back to audio. Here’s an update. I kept the Directstream 2 because I thought ther... 
PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2 DAC - How good is it vs Mk1? Weiss, Bricasti?
I upgraded from the Directstream 1 to 2 about 6 months ago.  Ar first, I wasn't sure it was worth the difference...until this week when I installed the new massive firmware update.  Wow-Major improvement.  Now I wonder if they will ever be able to... 
Digital add ons-airlens, matrix spdif, Innuous Phoenix net, Phoenix usb
I listen mainly to classical music.  I love string instruments, especially the cello,  with its dark, vibrant sounds. The Bach sonatas for solo cello are one of  my favorite tests of musical reproduction. On chamber and orchestral music, I like be... 
Digital add ons-airlens, matrix spdif, Innuous Phoenix net, Phoenix usb
Thanks vonhelmholz.  I’ve spent the last 40 minutes trying to post my virtual system.  After figuring out the first several steps—which are far from intuitive—I keep getting “user can’t be blank” although it’s definitely not blank.  I realize this... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
My PS Audio mark 2 also has no hum. Since PS Audio offers a 30 day return period, you can always send it back if there’s hum or for any other reason.  Their customer service is excellent.  
Innuos Statement vs Zenith Mk3 + PhoenixUSB
Russ751, I also would appreciate your thoughts about the Phoenix usb.

Roon
Thanks....but I've tried saving every available version of certain albums, one after another, and none of them is saved--even though a Roon message says they are.  The funny thing is that some albums are saved with no problems and others just won'...
