Digital add ons-airlens, matrix spdif, Innuous Phoenix net, Phoenix usb


I’m not technically inclined… and I’m confused.  I’m now using an Innuous Zenith 3, a PS Audio directstream 2, a matrix spdif and an Innuous Phoenix usb.  Now I’m tempted by the Innuous Phoenix net and/or by the new Ps Audio airlens.  But I don’t totally understand what all these add ons do or where they would go in my system.  I just know that I’m on a never ending search for the best sound, probably like everyone here .  I’m willing to add either (or both) devices and also to remove things I’m now using.  I realize that adding too many accessories probably can over complicate things and multiple connections probably can degrade the sound.  I welcome any advice!

I am not familiar with all your equipment but I am very familiar with steaming and Innuos. The Innuos net was a great addition to my system. Mostly eliminated  all the noise you get from the internet. It was a great addition to my system and became like a black canvas for music. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is trying to improve streaming

Good luck with your system.

A huge upgrade would be a 432evo Aeon we bested an innous statement with upgraded power supply 25k while our Aeon is currently 7800

 

And you only need one usb cable a simpler and neater solution then adding a Phoenix and a zenith pluus Phoenix is not as good as a statement

 

And our servers are fully upgradable so you can easily upgrade to

Our flagship Master.

Ah, yet another unsolicited and shameless self-promotion post from one of our most treasured participants.  Ehem. 

I will say that the instrument placement/id in my system isn’t as precise as I would like and I would like a little more “presence.”

I know of two methods to get what you want.

The first one is to improve the acoustics in your room with room treatments.

The second way is to try spatial audio/atmos music.

I did both and I can sit and listen for hours to classical music.

If you have questions just post them.

Watch this 2 minute video of the London Philharmonic to get an idea:

Also, before buying any new gear I would call Sonitus and inquire about an acoustic room kit, I went with Auralex but if I were to do it again a room kit is easier:
