Help me understand better solutions for ethernet
I have been experimenting on how to get the best sound quality for streamed music to my Innuos Zenith Mk3: in my setup inserting an EMO EN70-HD galvanic isolator into my ethernet cable and connecting from there with a 10in Meicord cable to the str... 
Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions?
Whereas hi-res recordings bring little advantage over well recorded and mastered redbook, upsampling redbook to higher sampling rates has real advantages in digital to analogue conversion. This applies obviously only to delta sigma dacs. R2R dacs ... 
Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members!
1. Learn to listen: compare different recordings of the same music, easiest done on classical music. Watch out for phrasing, room echo, dynamics etc.2. Listen to learn: change speaker positioning gradually using the same piece of music. Change pos... 
Excellent Power Supply Solution
@cakyol,first, I object to your stentorian, arrogant tone. You are dealing with people enthusiastic about their hobby and by and large able to hear very well, and not a bunch of miscreantsSecond, the issue with PS generated noise ISN‘T about missi...

Acoustic Revive DSIX: head and shoulders above the rest 
Innuos: A Cautionary Tale.
I compared the Nucleus+ and Zenith Mk3 on Usb via Intona isolator and cables connected to an Antelope Zodiac Platinum with 10M clock. As I said, it wasn‘t even close regarding localisation of individual instruments on the soundstage, solo piano re...

@cal3713 thank you for reminding all of us that we should listen to each other and be kind: one cannot know the trouble the other has seen and I wish you well. And by the way: Enjoy the Music is a good recipe for healing, not a battle ground 
Improving streaming SQ
For those wanting to save some money compared to @audioengr‘s solution: inserting an Apple Airport Extreme to your ethernet and connecting it to the server via a Meicord ethernet cable achieves much the same thing for not much money 
Innuos: A Cautionary Tale.
Roon Nucleus doesn‘t even come close to Innuos SQ. Sounds like you bought from a very dodgy reseller and are now spreading sour grapes on Innuos which I think is pretty unfair

Anyone partaking in this senseless thread should put a cold towel around their head and wake up embarrassed about it the next morning 
Best Digital Music Server
Any Innuos model: easy setup and squeezebox software, fantastic SQ 
Innuos: A Cautionary Tale.
This seems to increasingly be a trend to avoid warranty claims. It is a direct result from a shift from dealers to direct sales by the OEMs. I think that warranties need to be transferable and this should be enforced by proper legislation.

What gives audio2design the right to diss any product he choses without listening to it on grounds of superior insights, however acquired? Shouldn‘t the Moderator intercede on this type of counterproductive behaviour? I for one am fed up. 
Innuos Zenith Mk3 Ultra-low Noise USB Audio Output, Really?
USB is inherently a compromised interface. That said the Innuos version really is quite accomplished. It does though substantially benefit from galvanic isolation and superior cables. 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
Grannyring is right, squeeze sounds way better than the Innuos Roon implementation. Given Innuos‘ imminent launch of its own player software there may be method to the madness. That said my Zenith Mk3 makes me very happy. And by the way, a player ...
