| Help setting up nework for Zenith mk3 arriving next week An easy solution to avoid running 150 ft of cables is to use an Apple Airport in bridge mode connected via a short ethernet cable to the streamer and replicating your wifi unless you live in a place with lots of wifi networks. If you decide to run... | |
| Stein Music Maestro Lacquer I found two interesting applications:1. apply to base of tubes. Significant increase in impulse fidelity and clarity2. apply to USB connector between streamer and DAC. Reduces vibration-borne interference of DA conversion, particularly resulting i... | |

| is Hi-Res all that? For what it‘s worth I find comparisons wrought with vagaries: Playing CDs is dependent on the CD-player or the quality of the ripping as well as the cables (both signal and power). Likewise Streaming starts with the quality of the internet supplie... | |
| What's my ideal music server? Read and recommend please Innuos for ease of use and sound quality. I went from a tuned Mac Mini to an Innuos Zenith Mk3 and could only wonder why I waited so long. | |
| Setting up a Mac mini as a music server, and other digital music questions Seriously listen to a Lumin, Innuos, Aurender, Auralic server and you‘ll never go back to the Macmini | |
| Separate Ethernet runs or one, then to a switch? Another very cheap solution is using a second generation Apple Airport Express to connect to yor router via wifi. Saves the hassle of switches, cables and what else | |
| Replacement for Verus rim drive Thanks @millercarbon,mine is still working: since it‘s such a great motor I was hoping to see someone carry on, specifically in further improving the controller given all the advances in digital regulation of electric motors. Vpi have a rim drive,... | |
| Innuous Zenith Mk III Arrives Tomorrow It‘s a great machine. Insert an Intona Isolator into the Dac connection for galvanic isolation of the power line. I am using an Acoustic Revive RGC-24 attached to the screws holding the transformer to improve grounding as well as an Acoustic Reviv... | |
| Streamer's without built in DAC options? Innuos ZenithMk3 and you can get rid of the Nucleus. | |
| VPI Magic Brick threads deleted They are still being sold in the Uk by www.britishaudiostore.com (no affiliation)I have been using them for 25+years and firmy believe that nary a power transformer should be without them: lowered noisefloor as well as overall clarity of the syste... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Beats me, why wouldn‘t you just get say an Innuos Zen Mk3 and kill two birds with one stone?: top cd play after transferring to internal SSD library and top streaming including Tidal and Qobus capability, even Roon if required. And within budget | |
| MacBook Pro streamer Anything with Innuos on it, Roon is optional. | |
| MacBook Pro streamer One other piece of advice: get a streamer, Macbooks are irredeemably too noisy for proper audio | |
| MacBook Pro streamer I had a similar issue with an Innuos Zenith Mk3 and an Antelope Zodiac Platinum. The head of Intona suggested I insert a a USB hub and it resolved the issue. The hub reclocks the signal and resolved the timing mismatch |
