| Transformer coupled outputs/inputs in preamplifiers. Best case in point are Wavac pre- and power amps: all transformer coupled with nary a capacitor in sight. Sheer audiophile bliss, conveying an immediacy and colour saturation that in my estimation hasn‘t been bettered. | |
| Help setting up nework for Zenith mk3 arriving next week I run a 12in Intona Reference between the Intona Isolator and the DAC, it made a substantial difference to a pure silver cable I used before. The Isolator made an equally big difference, though. I agree with working the ethernet side of things but... | |
| Digital Cable (again). Do yourself a favour and try Acoustic Revive DSIX. Haven‘t found anything that comes close. | |
| Help setting up nework for Zenith mk3 arriving next week @sdl4,do try the Intona Isolator if you are trying to improve your usb conection. Also: keep your USB cables as short as possible | |
| Best Cable Option: Streamer to DAC 99% of the back catalogue is redbook. Presently the best connection is mainly dependent on the quality of the interface implementation between streamer and DAC. Increasingly, the engineers spend their efforts predominantly on USB. There are howeve... | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? @bifwynne I am surprised that you have no benefit from upsampling. Have you tried inserting an Insulator into your USB connection? Does your DAC have a BNC input for a master clock? Both of these might help in making it more audible. | |

| Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers? The land of Kondo, Shindo, Allnic, Airtight and Wavac: SETs are Japan’s speciality and with high efficiency speakers still in a league of their own. If nothing else, worth exploring | |
| Has anyone used A Bluesound Node 2i with an Innuos Zenith XXL MKii???? Get rid of the Bluesound and stream through the Innuos. With my.innuos.com it‘s very straightforward to set up. You need to connect the Innuos to your router via ethernet. | |
| Would I benefit from a dedicated streamer? Any of the 3 you mention will be a better sounding replacement for your Roon Nucleus | |

| What would you do? Methinks Millercarbon gives excellent advice | |
| Help setting up nework for Zenith mk3 arriving next week If you feel like tweaking a little, you might insert a filter (ENO, EMO EN70–HD) and use a short bit (i.e. 10-15‘‘) of high quality ethernet cable (I use Meicord) but you seem to sound happy as is. | |
