+4 @ozzy62 same exact experience! when streaming in main system Qobuz noticeably cleaner and more incisive than any format from Tidal. No complaints on Qobuz quality but hoping they add more over time!

Innuos - New Re-Clocker
hello @thyname A 4TB Statement costs an eye watering ~$14,400 USD. A top Zenith 4TB + a Phoenix = $8,800 USD;So, for approximately $5,600 USD more you get 2 chassis, a much more sporting power supply, heavy case work etc in the Statement. I assum... 
Innuos - New Re-Clocker
Btw, I totally understand what @stevehuff is saying;The way the improvement has been described (I read a ton about this reclocker) was what I heard massively on my Cobalt; I was super looking forward to a similar thing on the home system. I did he...

Innuos - New Re-Clocker
Here is my two cents;The InnuOs Phoenix made my AQ DragonFly Cobalt sound many times more expensive. was shocked at the sound pouring out of my headphones. Home System:DAC: Chord TT2; Server: Aurender N10;Integrated Amp: Pass Labs int 250Speakers:...

Importance of phase and timing optimization when incorporating sub woofers ?
JL Audio has a lengthy white paper on this subject; interesting read. Check out their website for another viewpoint, and one where the author does not insult the audience.

unman M-900u for Focal Sopras 2 and 3
@jbrrp1 I hear you, the m-900 is amazing, but it is not neutral; It has a character, a beautiful one, but it's there; be careful trying to optimize your sound to one piece. Before long things will begin to sound about the same;If you like/love att...

unman M-900u for Focal Sopras 2 and 3
..yes; Almost like an amp for every mood and album--I once had a dream where speakers were mounted on a 2-D gantry so that the speakers could be optimized per track...sigh.So I know what you mean about texture in the upper-mids; I still have an XA...
