| Help selecting a power cord. I was stumbling thru various power cords until I purchased 3 used Wywire Silver Juice power cords and heard a definite change for the good. I have since added several Platinum power cords and interconnects and am pleased with the improvement. | |
| dcs bartok vs DENAFRIPS TERMINATOR-PLUS If you decide to audition a Terminator Plus it should be with a Denafrips DDC to use the I2S input to the Plus. I have an Innuos Statement which has an excellent USB out, but converting the USB to I2S makes for a big jump in SQ from the Plus over... | |
| Has anyone added a Master Clock to UpTone EtherREGEN Yet? It’s Insane! I agree adding a clock to the ER has a very positive effect. I also found placing the ER closest to an Innuos Statement the best place. I moved my EE 8Switch from that position after adding the clock and it was obvious the ER was best closest to... | |
| Low gain dac! I agree with checking out the W4S dacs. I had 2 tube preamps in series and used the DAC to set the volume controls at 12 oclock. It is easy to attenuate the dacs output. | |
| CD v Streamed I decided a while ago that ripping a CD to a music server sounded better than the CD. I do not have an uber CD player- maybe that's the issue. There is no question in my system that music played from the server is much better than Tidal or Qobuz... | |

| Problems with Innuos Music Library missing covers No problems with the update here. | |
| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system I am using a Mutec Ref10 to clock a SOtM switch and Uptone EtherRegen. Unquestionable benefits. Not sure if I have a real world system. It did reveal to me a harshness I was able to track down to SFP modules between the switches, got that fixed... | |
| Is Innuos Zenith or Statement Overkill with a High-End Streaming DAC? Source matters but will only sound as good as the weakest links in a system. I have found Roon to be a weak link and hard to get around. Roon will definitely sound worse on your iMac. Innuos lets you use squeezelite as the player with Experimen... | |
| USB sucks Not just the Marketers! I also am using and ENO USB cable and Ethernet filter. They are sweet and highly recommended. They absolutely made an immediate and unmistakable change. | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover I had Wyred 4 Sound amps with class A tube pre amps and it is a good pairing. W4S tend to be a bit warm also. If your speakers are higher sensitivity then a high power amp may not be good pairing as your pre amp will not be in the sweet spot whi... | |
| What is the average life expectancy of a DAC? @jaytor I have a similar DAC path, only with a Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 DSD v2.2 in between my Yggy and Terminator. I recognized the benefits of moving up the DAC chain, my experience has been better DAC's cost more.I found the Yggy better than my CD ... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? You don't always get what you wantbut if you spend your dimeyou just might findyou get what you need | |
| Pimping your router @pokey77 I have an ENO filter between an Innuos Server and ER. The ENO gives an immediate sweetness to the sound. The ER is different it adds a blackness and resolution. They compliment each other.I had the ENO between the Innuos and an EE8 Swi... | |
| Pimping your router Recently got roughed up by the learning curve of adding fiber. Different SFP's and fiber sound different just like cables sound different. Some are thin and bright, others dark and muddy.I have 2 suggestions, first find Finisar FTLF1324P2BTL 4... |
