| Digital upgrade: new disc player or better streamer? I have seen posts but have not experienced that top flight transports will better top flight streamers. I am too inconvenienced to spin discs or vinyl.I have 3 music servers and they all sound different.Recently Innuos released a player app for t... | |
| What is wrong with my system? What power conditioning and noise control are you using. Dedicated lines for your amps, pre amp and digital gear will add life.Separate power conditioners for your pre amp and digital gear will help with noise.Keeping all SMPS's off your AC lines... | |
| Sophia Electric is not honest Bought a rectifier tube for my Decware pre amp. It was much better than what it replaced. I don't remember any issues with the purchase. | |

| PS audio new 25K dac and the psychological effect of owning a company's best. I purchased a PS Audio Powerplant P10 when it was their top of the line regenerator. I remember it being around $ 5K. It sucked the life out of my amplifiers, there are also several settings that dramatically change the sonic signature- I can't... | |
| Server/Source Recommendation For Denafrips Terminator The Terminator sounds best with I2S vs USB but the USB and or I2S cable makes or breaks the deal. I use an Iris between my server and Terminator Plus. I spent more each on the power cord and I2S cable than for the Iris but its all about what you... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality The quality of your streaming from Tidal, etc will largely depend on the quality of your network. You should have at least one quality switch like a Etherregen or one of the myriad just recently released switches. The switch should have a qualit... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Adding and clocking a Denafrips Iris DDC for I2S input to the Terminator Plus was a near Damn moment compared to the straight USB from an Innuos Statement.What was a Damn moment was when Innuos released their InnuOS 2.0 and I was able to dump Roon... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. I had a Decware CSP3. It was a lot of fun tube rolling the input, output and rectifier tubes. It has potentiometers on the input and output tubes that further affect the character of the tube sound. You can make it lean or lush depending on you... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? I gave up on Roon and was using iPeng because Roon just sounds bad. So I am a happy camper as Sense is way way better than iPeng as a control app.But more that that, Sense also sounds way better than iPeng. I would easily equate the noise reduct... | |
| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! I agree the pre amp is more influential in terms of getting a sweet sound. In other words it can likely get in the way of the sound more than the amp. However, Garbage In Garbage Out is real and if the amp is limiting then the pre amp is just go... | |
| Innuos: A Cautionary Tale. Still love my Innuos, more so now they released the new Innuos Software 2.0. It is everything, and more than promised.The new 2.0 software is free and frees me from the costs of Roon, not that it is that expensive but......The new 2.0 software is... | |
| Clean AC power I have found tremendous benefit from cleaning the exterior and interior power.I ran 3 dedicated lines. I found putting my mono amplifiers on one line, my digital on another and analog on the third. I have a Denali on the analog and PS 10 Powerpl... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. I had a Yggy analog2 and much preferred the W4S DSD2 SE as a bonus it has an attenuator and can be a pre ampthe W4S was less fatiguing and much cleaner low end | |
| Streamer Advice / Recommendation for Denafrips R2R DAC My experience is that streaming quality is dependent on Ethernet quality. Cables switches and LPS for everything adds or removes harshness maybe more than the streamer/DAC.for me the English Electric 8Switch and Network Acoustics filter tamed a l... |
