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

I downloaded 2.0.7 few hours ago and i think Qobuz SQ may have improved.

However, I’m being cautious in reaching that conclusion because in a 2-day period ending yesterday, I changed two cords (each fully broken in, however) and raised my speakers enough to matter.  I listened at length to those changes yesterday and rather briefly again today before the update.  My first thought upon hearing 2.0.7 was “did that update just improve my SQ?”

Had no time to listen at length.  Will do so later.

Hope others share their findings.

Chilehed,

Very well said about the improving Sense app and positive overall Innuos ownership experience.  Sense, for me, is knocking it down!

I’m learning how to use it better, also.  And though I’ve not used Roon since Sense came out, I was having lots of connectivity and other issues.  Lots.  My phone was often unusable, whereas iPad was much better. Updates may have fixed much of it.

I don’t have a lifetime Roon license, so I view this differently than if I did.  And SQ is the priority. 

rc,
We are in the same boat, my Roon subscription ends in March. I was close to buying a lifetime subscription but there was news about Innuos building their own app so I held off. I do love the functionality of Roon but like you I loaded Sense a few weeks after it was released and haven't looked back. I've provided some feedback to Innuos and they do seem to be working hard on it. I updated my DAC right before switching to Sense so it is hard to know what improvements are due to the DAC and what might be associated with the app, but to be honest I don't care. I do know my systems sounds great and am thrilled that Sense has evolved past the point point of being clumsy and frustrating. If they can continue improving the functionality and maintain or improve the SQ, it is a huge win for us and them. The value proposition of their gear will be through the roof compared to what it was prior to the availability of Sense.

Since my mast post I recalled an example of the headaches I was having with Roon—aside from crazy-bad connectivity problems.  I could never pull up “History”.  History is so accessible with Sense. And I personally find it useful to have instant access to what I played in the past.

And with respect to music discovery: I have found good songs/artists by looking into the Qonuz playlists.presented thru Sebse.  One new one is the James Bond playlist.  I found a track by Iggy Pop called “James Bond”, which led me to his album called “Free”.  Beautiful recording quality.  At minimum, JB is an extremely effective track for assessing vocals and low frequency.  Seriously one of the best.  And the other songs are original in the extreme.

The edit feature is not letting me correct my typos.  I hope what I intended is discernible.
