Pass-through Roon Endpoints
Question: is there any advantage to using a fancier (i.e., pricier) streamer than the Wiim Pro for this purpose? It does nothing except pass the digital data through to the DAC, nor would a fancier one do anything beyond that.   love it when pe... 
CODA 8 V1
@erik_squires perhaps you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I wasn’t implying there’s no difference between Pass and Coda. I was just saying you can’t really hear when these amps transition out of Class A.  Yes Coda sounds completely differe... 
Quboz cuts off beginning of songs
DACs I had that didn’t have these issues - Bricasti M3 Chord Qutest and Hugo TT2 Benchmark DAC3 PS Audio DSD Mark 1 Meitner MA3i It could be a combination of Innuos and your dac. If the buffer settings make no difference you either need anot...

Try the buffer settings in innuos and see if it resolves it I used to own BDA-3 and used it with Lumin U1 Mini. Don’t recall it swallowing the first few seconds of a song. But do recall a static like pop  
To Stream w/Optical Or Not
I think using usb cable from Cambridge to mcintosh is a better option.  as to volume control just set volume on cxn to its max setting anf control the volume with McIntosh preamp.  I would avoid replacing cambridge with wiim. I don’t find wiim to ... 
CODA 8 V1
@swede58 correct Don’t worry about class a or a/b. Coda is excellent. There’s barely any difference with Pass or Coda when these amps transition out of Class A.

I don’t have InnuOS but here’s what I was able to google      Access the Sense app: Open the Innuos Sense app on your device.  Navigate to settings: Go to System > Settings > Audio.  Locate USB Latency Mode: Find the setting labeled... 
Distortion from Audio Rack ??
The issue with components that are situated too close to one another is EMI. I always found my system to sound much better with the amp out of the rack even if it was just sitting on the floor at least a foot away from the nearest component. Keep ... 
Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee?
@painter24  I would attempt to bargain that deal down to not paying anything except shipping your old unit to them. But your decision to get a replacement DAC and sell it makes sense. It just shouldn’t cost you additional $400. That’s a pretty ba... 
Cable Quandary
I have demoed tyr 2 speaker cables in my system. I thought they would be a good match with Tyr 2 XLR and Frey 2 power cords that I already have. Nope. Wasn’t to my liking. I’m sure Valhalla 2 kicks ass thought.   
Cable Quandary
@couger4u I’ll give you a different perspective… Speaker placement is what affects the shift to one side. Even though your image may be centered, you could hear more information from the left or from the right. Room layout can cause that too if y... 
Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee?
Not the best offer.  Did you try to discuss this fee with them? What is it based on? If your unit is under warranty you would normally cover the shipping to the manufacturer. They would then either repair it or replace it and ship it back to you... 
How can different CAT5/6 cables affect sound.
It’s the analog signal that carries the digital signal (voltage fluctuations) over the copper Ethernet cable.  Yes the data is transmitted accurately. However, we’re streaming music, not moving text documents over network. So in our systems the Et...
