Innuos Zen Mini MKI MKII, MKIII actions for better sounding of this beautiful music server
@bugracer Hi Thomas Welcome 😊 Just curious; how do you connect the battery to your Zen Mini? Also, how long is it before you need to recharge the battery when it's feeding the Zen?  
What were your favorite gear additions in 2024?
A few major changes for me last year: Revisited Denafrips and bought the Ares 12th-1 pre-loved just out of curiosity. I loved it so much so then tried adding the Denafrips Iris DDC, which was a really nice addition, so much so my x3 more expensiv... 
Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer
https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/stack-audio-smoothlan-network-filter-wow There was a long thread started by Ozzy late last year on the Smooth Lan; seems a few members tried and liked what it did. (myself included)

questions about Innuos Pulse Mini streamer usage
@sasho just checked the Sense app (I don't stream radio very often at all apart from Radio Paradise, so needed to chk), there is a field in the "Radio" section of the app where you can type or Copy and Paste a URL/web address of a streaming radio ... 
ATC SCM40A speakers
I've had my ATC SCM40s(V2 Passive) for around 18 months. I first had them driven by Marantz Model 30, then by a Heaven 11 Billie Mkii.  Recently I've added an Atoll AM200 power amp (120w) and use the Billie as pre-amp. I guess the bass produced i...

questions about Innuos Pulse Mini streamer usage
There is at least one member here who is using the Zen LPS with the Pulse mini: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/recommendations-for-lps-for-innuos-pulse-mini?highlight=innuos  
questions about Innuos Pulse Mini streamer usage
Hi Sasho, I have the Zen Mini mkiii, not the Pulse but the premise should be the same: You can use the outputs connected to various DACs, but the SENSE app has you select the output device/DAC you wish to stream to. So I don't think you can have... 
Stack Audio Smooth Lan Issue
Maybe drop Stack an email, they may have some insight into your issue. Josh is usually very quick to respond; following my 2 purchases from them he has sent a follow up email. Next week things maybe a little slower for festive reasons though  
Hermes added, question
@kingbr the crackling I had wasn’t a constant noise, it was intermittent, but I don’t remember it only being present on certain tracks, or all tracks. For what it’s worth, I also use DH Labs Mirage USB between streamer and Iris DDC which has been... 
Hermes added, question
Not familiar withe the Symphony, but maybe remove from the chain to eliminate it. Saying this, I experienced similar when initially connected my Iris to my old Ares 12th-1; I thought I'd hit on the correct configuration (010, 000, 100 etc) but I ... 
A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC
I’ve had my Pontus 15th since June running in NOS, but just flipped to OS just last week to see which I liked best. I’m undecided which I like best to be honest. It’s not night and day different, but NOS mode is a little more organic sounding to m...
