InnuOS Sense 2.6.0.

I just made the update this morning around dawn. The change in sound quality isn’t minor. Rather, I’m hearing substantially more weight and body to the music. And the clarity has improved. I’d been thinking about looking at some other music servers. I’d been intrigued with the description of the Antipodes K50, but that curiosity to try something new pretty much ended after installing the 2.6 update. 
 

The improvement in sound quality is, at least for me, like an upgraded component. Innuos is really on top of their game.

Btw - I’d been running a 2.2 software version, so maybe the jump was bigger for me? 

@jon2020 - I am also curious about how a firmware update can have such a profound change on the sound. I didn’t expect such a radical upgrade.

@bluethinker, +1.

It’s like my entire system got upgraded.

I am so glad I haven’t bought anything new lately.

Cheers!

My initial enthusiasm has faded a bit. After a week or so of listening, I hear better resolution but I’m now aware of some “digital glare.” What had been a relaxed presentation now sounds a little forward and, I hate to say it, irritating.
 

It’s making me question my entire set-up! Do I need a new streamer? DAC? Or should I explore some products like the Network Acoustics Muon?
 

Anyone else have this experience after a week or so listening to the new Innuos 2.6 update?

You may experience digital clipping. Try and turn down the volume on the server and up on the dac by using the sense volume bar. Hopefully that helps.
