| Innuos or Aurender @dpm2340, I have had both in my system and Innuos beats Aurender in sound quality, cd ripping and dollar-for-dollar value. The Sense app has many more features than the Aurender app and is more intuitive in every way - editing, clearing queue cac... | |
| New Onix XDA20 DAC vs old Esoteric N-05 +1, @mahler123. | |
| New Onix XDA20 DAC vs old Esoteric N-05 @lordmelton "...AKM chips are warmer sounding and that’s probably what you prefer." True for my system. Good to know you are very happy with your Musetec. | |

| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k https://www.enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/equipment/1222/Esoteric_N05XD_DAC_Streamer_Preamplifier_HeadAmp_Review.htm Esoteric N-05XD reviewed at 11k. | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? @tubeguy80, +1. I used to own dcs gear. Gave them all up for the same reason and never looked back. I would not advise putting them in any system even if you can afford them. | |
| Innuous update 3.2.5 problem I just updated to 3.2.5 with no issues. What is your current version? If the update is still in progress, I would rather not stop but just wait until it completes to 100% on the progress indicator. This may take a while if the update is a big ga... | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC Indeed, I am drawn to the Rose because of its AKM chip. My current Esoteric N-05 dac sports an AKM too. In the end, it is all about system synergy. So, home auditions will allow for good decisions but not always available. :( Will keep you poste... | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC @milpai I am still undecided but have narrowed down to 3 - this, T+A 200 and the Mola Mola Tambaqui. Decisions, decisions. 😁 | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC https://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2025/01/21/hifi-rose-rd-160-dac-review-the-overachiever/ For the curious, this review just came out. | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC Congrats, @milpai on your T+A 200 dac. Does it sound better direct or through your separate pre-amp? Thanks in advance. Jon | |
| Escoteric K03XD - Loss of high frequency in right channel It's the laser pickup. Happened to my older K-03 too. Needs to be repaired. Hope this helps. | |
| New Esoteric K-03XD I used to own an Esoteric K-03 player. The tray and lens gave out years later. I then upgraded to a music server plus the N-05 dac/network streamer. New AKM chip sounds very much better than the old player’s dac section. Best sound I get is with... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @rodman99999 +1. | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @roxy1927 I have several Shunyata products in my system and every one of them works as claimed by the manufacturer at every price level. You would do well staying with Shunyata. The difference in SQ will be appreciated more and more as the power... |
