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

Hi @thyname. Attenuating the bass drivers by 5/10/15 db across the bass driver spectrum alone is easily managed with Rothwell attenuators. But unfortunately I have historically felt that a little bit of attenuation is also necessary at the lowest end of the lower mid-range driver spectrum.  And that makes the situation a bit complicated as this attenuation cannot be applied evenly across the whole of this lower mid driver’s spectrum. In future am going to experiment with 15 db attenuators on the bass drivers alone (currently I use only 10 db Rothwell attenuators on the bass drivers and then add a bit more attenuation on top using Roon DSP) and see if that proves adequate and then maybe I will be able to revisit the Innuos.

Unfortunately the ASP crossovers are hardwired by Linkwitz and I can’t tinker with those.

Thanks for the ideas though.

I like "garbage"..... works for me.....and very well at that....

IME Roon dsp not very good. Best sound quality attained with all user accessible settings off, therefore, no volume leveling, analysis, anything and everything set to off. These processes are purely for convenience in Roon, if one is serious about dsp with high sound quality use HQPLayer dsp, simply on totally different level from Roon dsp. Ask yourself why Roon has HQPlayer embedded within Roon? Because they know what I state here is true.

The one issue with HQPlayer vs Roon dsp is that HQPlayer will require higher power processor in streamer vs Roon, one probably needs at least Intel I7, I5 doesn't cut it.

Trouble with that is that the more powerful the processor the higher the noise level…

The fundamental difference between Roon and InnuOS is in philosophy: whereas Roon believes in high powered, complex sound shaping, InnuOS pursues minimalist and purist design: low powered processors and maximum attention to suppressing RMI/EMI and ground level noise intrusion. This has direct implications on software coding: Sense is designed to minimise CPU usage whereas Roon sees CPU usage as uncritical and uses complex plug-ins such as DSP to increase user friendliness.
