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

I’ve been a Zenith 3 owner since last December. Chord Hugo TT2 DAC into Naim amplification and Zu speakers. There’s an impedance mismatch between the Naim and the Zu which results in erratic bass and mids. Eventually I figured the amps would go to be replaced by something like a Decware. Have had to make various compromises starting with a cheap wireless bridge rather than 40m worth of Cat5/6 but have loved it. It just works. All Innuos products are s model of “just works”. 
Tried Roon in experimental mode. It was okay but nothing special. Can’t say I’d rave shout the interface. It always struck me as an interim solution filling a gap in the market until manufacturers skilled up and did what Innuos have just done. Spent some time being ridiculed for suggesting that Innuos interface alone had the potential to be one of a series of manufacturer moves which would eventually shrink Roon to even more if a niche novelty than it is at present.

Sense and 2.05 come with the issues you’d expect of all such big moves but overall it’s closer to magnificent than a mess and the engagement with end users over our priorities is refreshing. 
What I absolutely didn’t expect was the leap in sound quality. If characterise it as a significant drop in the noise floor across the board. Bass is suddenly there and more consistent; mids are lovely whilst highs are detailed, precise/crystal clear and yet never harsh. Haven’t listened to so much music in my life. Full Tidal integration is coming. I can’t “benefit” from MQA/Masters because if the Chord DAC but the 16 year old is more than happy with CD quality Tidal and me and Mrs. H. are more than happy with the full Qobuz integration. 

Just updated my Zen-Mini-Mk3 (with LPS) today to 2.0.5 and wow!  On my system it absolutely kills roon from a sound perspective.  As others have stated, ultra low noise floor, vastly improved base and more delicate top end.  From an interface standpoint I really like it and did not use much of the discovery stuff from roon.  Once the Tidal search functionality is added it will be perfect for me.

I’m an old(er) jaded audiophile and ex IT person. I know a good bit about computers from a practical sense as a power user. Honestly I did not hear much of an improvement moving from a stripped down Win 10 laptop to the Zen mk3 that I bought in April of this year. I bought the Zen because it just seemed to be a nice unit and I wanted to try a dedicated machine. I ran roon core on the Zen until a few weeks ago when I upgraded to the to the latest Innuos Sense app.

I hear a significant positive difference since I moved from innuos 1.49 to 2.05.  I mean it's not like "I think I hear a difference" it's more like wow - that sounds fantastic.  I don’t know Innuos secret sauce but whatever they are doing is a game changer.

Absolutely! Enjoy……

Nice, everyone has me excited for the v2.0 update!

I just got my Zenith yesterday and am loving it as is, big improvement from my laptop/tablet, but weird thing is when I powered it up and did the system update it only brought the software up to v1.49. Right now I’m running everything through Orange Squeeze and not using Room. I was gonna do the v2.0 update this morning, but want to do a little more listening to compare the change over with the update.

My current set up is Zenith -> (USB) Gustard X26 Pro DAC -> (XLR) Azur 851a iAmp-> 851w pAmp -> Kef LS50 Meta’s with Kef Kube 12b.

The Zenith has done wonders already, but on a side not has anyone read or heard anything about utilizing a D2D converter before your DAC? On the PS forums people are raving about the Matrix Audio X SPDIF 2 coupled with a 9v LSP.

Anyone give it a shot yet and hear any big difference?

I like the idea of being able to run I2S from the Matrix to my DAC to optimize all things digital before the hit my speakers.

I did order the Matrix and LSP and will try it out myself once they arrive, but gonna be making quite a few changes here and will report back on what I hear each step ofnrhe way.
