The time has come and I request advice...
To my fellow audiophiles the time has come and I am going to attempt to improve my digital source in one audio system I have, Currently running a Bluesound Node X into Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary and it sounds great but i am ready and willing to update the streamer. Looking for a dedicated streamer that will play Tidal or Qobuz. Might be interested in going the Roon route. Budget is about $2500. Right now the Lumin U2 mini and Aurender seem to be at the top of recommendations. Looking for advice from those who have used the streamer they recommend.
I listen to Jazz, Blues and instrument music mostly...also going to add a turntable to my other audio system and will post another question...
@kennyc I had no issue running Roon on my Innous Zenith. I have a lifetime Roon subscription, having said that, I no longer use Roon on my Zenith because I use Innous Sense instead. Roon certainly has more bells & whistles than Sense, but Sense SQ IMHO is much better than Roon's, and the Sense app is a very good music management system. |
Agree, I have an innuos and ran Roon for years. In the last 6 months it seemed to have some connectivity problems so I switched to Innuos Sense. No problems sounds superb and honestly, I don't see a difference in the OS. Both very easy to navigate, play well with Qobuz and give similar, if not the same info |
I have the Innuos Zen Mini Mk3 going into my T+A DAC 200 and I’ve been delighted with the sound, performance, and stability. I’ve run both Roon and Innuos Sense. Both are stable and very good. Roon is a bit more feature rich, and I think Sense sounds a bit better.
my point is that I would at least audition Innuos to see if you like them.
As always, only your ears matter… |
Seems honest opinion. Okay.
Disinformation / sway. C’mon now. Really? There’s no flattering way to say “Aurender’s not Roon Ready,” but no need to discount one over the other, hey? They don’t play together bit-perfectly, why not leave it at that? Disclaimer: I don’t use either of those items, want either of those items, or profit from either of those items. |
