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

@sns,

other than CPU noise clocking matters at least as much. Depending on the connection chosen you need to either clock the dac in USB asynchronous mode or both dac and server with superior clocking through the same device. Unfortunately all connections between dac and server as well as clock connections have their own jitter/noise issues so that an optimisation only on the cpu is insufficient. Roon in most implementations adds a further device as you need renderer and server, further exacerbating the clocking issue. This is why current design thinking seems to converge to integrated server/dac/attenuator solutions with external power supplies

What do you eat for breakfast? Your sense of humor is off the charts 🤣

@lalitk after I ran a 10k I had a mushroom omelet with a cup of herbal tea. Wink wink.

Any low frequency rumblings?

@antigrunge2 I agree clocking is critical. Attention to that paid through JCAT Net Card XE, powered by external LPS, this card has top flight clock and dedicated power supply. Sonore OpticalModule and OpticalRendu also have upgraded clocks, power supplies, finally Amanero usb board in dac first rate in these regards as well. Further upgrade to Sonore coming in form of Finisar optical transcievers, measurably lower jitter and custom build optical cable with reportedly lower reflection which should also attend to jitter. No doubt getting the clocks right is large part of providing for more analog like SQ.
