Innuos owners. Chime in

Innuos is deliberately designed with a low power, low noise CPU. Roon however puts heavy demands on the CPU through DSP and other features, so it fundamentally follows a different design philosophy. Hence the better sound from Sense on Innuos equipment.

+1.

The Sense app has 2 great features that also optimise SQ - Offline mode and Queue cache clearing.

Roon vs Innuos Sense app :-

Roon does not seem to synergise with Innuos.

Care to elaborate on benefits of queue cache clearing? It is per Innuos reserved for service personnel and I don’t understand why it would improve SQ

@antigrunge2

The current version of the Sense app allows you to clear your queue cache without going through service personnel.

Clearing the queue cache is like clearing the cache of your computer or phone. It regularly frees up memory hogged by older tracks in the queue.

As your current playlist gobbles up RAM, removing old tracks from RAM to get new tracks ready for playing improves SQ.

Hope this helps. :)
