Help settle a streaming argument!

@drlou77 I wish I could tell you that there is no difference but it is and a lot, probably it was one of the biggest improvements with Innuos but before ordering one I will suggest you to test it in your system, fortunately there are great Innuos dealers that can work that with you. 

When I installed mine, I still was talking with the dealer 10 mins after he connected it, music was in the background and I could tell the improvement. 

I think maybe as you go up in the streamers ladder the difference is more subtle but with the Zenith MK3 it made a lot of difference in my system

One more, also a good cable made a big difference

My 2 cents 

Thanks and good luck

curiousjim- I don’t have an answer for you. I don’t have NAS and I'm just storing the ripped CD’s in the Innuos.

@cleeds Are you always so gruff?

Could you please point me to the post you referred to that gives the explanation?

thanks,

PS  I just bought a $13K streamer.

I started out with a Cocktail Audio X45 streamer.  I ripped all my CD's to an internal hard drive and it sounded pretty good, at least as good as my cd player.  I finally upgraded that to an Auralic Aries G2.1 and it blew away the X45, so I can tell you the streamer matters.  The biggest quip I have with the Auralic is the APP, it really is not any better than the Cocktail APP when it comes to usability.  I bit the bullet and ordered an Aurender N20 which should be here tomorrow, I am hoping for a lot better interface with their APP and according to Upscale the sound quality should be a lot better, they have never steered me wrong yet.  I have the streamer running through a PS Audio MK2 DAC which is very good, and from there to a BHK preamp then to BHK 300 mono's.
