| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC Indeed, I am drawn to the Rose because of its AKM chip. My current Esoteric N-05 dac sports an AKM too. In the end, it is all about system synergy. So, home auditions will allow for good decisions but not always available. :( Will keep you poste... | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC @milpai I am still undecided but have narrowed down to 3 - this, T+A 200 and the Mola Mola Tambaqui. Decisions, decisions. 😁 | |

| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC Congrats, @milpai on your T+A 200 dac. Does it sound better direct or through your separate pre-amp? Thanks in advance. Jon | |
| Escoteric K03XD - Loss of high frequency in right channel It's the laser pickup. Happened to my older K-03 too. Needs to be repaired. Hope this helps. | |
| New Esoteric K-03XD I used to own an Esoteric K-03 player. The tray and lens gave out years later. I then upgraded to a music server plus the N-05 dac/network streamer. New AKM chip sounds very much better than the old player’s dac section. Best sound I get is with... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @rodman99999 +1. | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @roxy1927 I have several Shunyata products in my system and every one of them works as claimed by the manufacturer at every price level. You would do well staying with Shunyata. The difference in SQ will be appreciated more and more as the power... | |
| Esoteric Grandioso K1x SE ......when are they going to be available here in the US ? I am very happy that you made the right choice. I used to own Esoteric players and the transport reliability just wasn't what I paid for. Very disappointing. | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. bluethinker, So true. When the right preamp is in place, every part of the system just falls into place beautifully. The preamp is truly the heart of the system and when it pulls every component together to make great music, you don't want to lo... | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. @bluethinker, By turning up the volume of your Zenith to 100%, you eliminate digital grunge and/or loss of digital resolution when all volume control duties are transferred to analog via your preamp. Nice preamp, by the way. Cheers! | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. @bluethinker, I have not experienced what you have. If you are using a pre-amp, try keeping the Sense app volume at 100%, and control the volume only with your preamp. Hope this helps. | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. The improvement in sound quality is, at least for me, like an upgraded component. Innuos is really on top of their game. @bluethinker, +1. It’s like my entire system got upgraded. I am so glad I haven’t bought anything new lately. Cheers! | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. I am just curious as to how a firmware update to a server can improve SQ by so much. I mean it is truly amazing! Is this some sort of FPGA which I understand mostly applies to dacs? Any thoughts? | |
| Problem With Innuos Sense - Won't Play Selected Song? nyev, Try rebooting your Zenith Mk 3. I had the same issue but all gone now after the reboot. Hope this helps, |
