    DCS Rossini APEX has arrived!

    I have recently received Vivaldi Apex upgrade, and glad I did. It extends the quality life of an older Dac to perform at even higher level, with out the cost of upgrading to a new unit. The sound is more organic, sonic density, better instrument separation in space. Happy customer. shout out to...

    A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server

    Echo: I use Ethernet from Statement into network Bridge, then dual aes to Dac. Does new app require usb to interface with Dac?

    A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server

    Sorry, not sure if you addressed question…I currently use Statement as Roon core, connected to dCS network bridge and dual aes to my Dac. When I attempted to use new Innuos app instead of Roon, my Statement did not ‘see’ my Dac, then needed to re-install Statement as Roon core to play music...

    A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server

    Just downloaded 2.0….silly question…does the Statement must be connected to Dac via USB to use new app? I have dCS vivaldi to network bridge via dual aes, Statement did not recognize my Dac.. Do I need to give up my beloved aes connection? What might I loose/ gain by switching? thanks bob

    DCS Vivaldi

    I switched from Nucleus + to Innuos Statement, with Roon endpoint, and dedicated Uptone etheregen switch, made a nice improvement in playback from files on NAS to Vivaldi DAC, no UPS, as well as Qboz. Installed 1.8 the other day, not sure I am noticing much in way of sonic improvement, trying to...

    amps for Yvette

    I have Yvette’s power with D’Agstino Momentum S-250 stereo amp with VTL 6.5 vii pre, love the sound. This also works well with DAW’s if I choose to move up, but wife didn’t like look of bigger speakers. good luck

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    I'd second the Sablon ethernet cable, made a nice improvement, and I also own Wireworld platinum....in fact I like all the Sablon cords, especially their power cords as well

    Super3 - a supercapacitor LPS, by Farad Power Supplies

    Has anyone used the Farad super 3 to power a Roon Nucleus +? It requires 19 volts, there is some question whether its amp output will be sufficient. I am interested in obtaining two units, one for my Uptone etherregen, which needs 9 v, the other to use on my Nucleus +. Hope some users can share...

    The Uptone Audio EtherRegen audiophile switch

    Superdad; Thanks for the prompt shipping of my new switch; it arrived on time, well packed. Instructions were clear, and it was easy to install. Right away, the sound stage improved and subtle sonic details, especially the low end were much better than with old switch. This is a no brainer...

    The Uptone Audio EtherRegen audiophile switch

    Just received notice of production/ shipping delays on switches promised for week of Aug 25. They are however providing better shipping by UPS, instead of less reliable, slower USPS...which helps ease the sting...looking forward

    Yvette vs Sabrina

    I had rigorous in home demo of both, as well as DAW Shasta’s. Ended up with Yvette’s....love them , about 85-90% of Sasha DAW in smaller, more wife friendly footprint. Sabrina,s were a pleasant surprise, but they ‘strained’ to energize my room, a bit bigger than yours. Happy with my choice...
