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

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.

Ja-kub...
Keeps updated on your progress, on a side note, how much do you like the Gustard 26 PRO..?

I love it, I had the Cambridge Audio DAC Magic 200m prior to that and upgraded now that I’m all in on this HiFi stuff.

It’s an amazing DAC! But I’ve only listened to PCM and MQA stuff through it.

Pro’s
- Incredible bass presentation. Such smooth and well transitioned bass.
- Detailed and crisp, but surprisingly warm (probably do to the strong bass).
- Awesome sound stage depth! I just smile listening to atmospheric ambient music because the depth is phenomenal.
- Excellent detail and separation.
- Bluetooth is great, if you want it.

Con’s
- $1,500 and no headphone jack.
- No chance at customer service and product support (if I had to guess?) and a useless manual.
- Can come a cross (with certain multi channel and heavily mixed recordings) as having some tonal brightness. Like certain sounds that weren’t as apparent are overly forward and loud in contrast to the rest of the music.

It was a toss up between the X26 Pro and the RME ADI-2 FS Ultra ($1,300) for me, but I really like the Dual Saber sound and can best describe this DAC as a DAC Magic 200m on steriods. Everything the DAC magic does the Gustard does better.

But I’d say overall I have zero regrets, but again, big bass, so with some systems could be a problem.

Another unrelated Innuos Question... My new 2TB Zenith MK3 has the SSD drive, but under system settings storage it's listed as 1700GB.

Where'd my 300GB go missing?

With some trepidation, I have updated my Innuos Zen mk ii to 2.0.5.The good news: the update seems to have gone smoothly, only 8', then asked to reboot, then another 4' to get the Innuos Sense screen on the mainframe. Then it goes to "Music Library being converted". I went to the player function on the mainframe, and the initial sound does seem "better".  The bad news: on the P. Barber NIghtclub album it shows only 2 tracks, on the Chesky Club de Sol album it shows only 4 tracks. Hopefully as the library conversion continues it will complete the missing tracks. Also I can't find how to stop the player function so that the server can only do the conversion function.
