    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    To me it looks like Innuos makes the switchboard by them self.

    Innuos Statement: Nextgen vs Non-Nextgen

    The cables that your picture show is not from Innuos the new Nextgen model ships with the same cable as the regulare one. Perhaps they are from a third-party manufacturer. Sean Jacobs the man who designs the PSU for Innuos builds umbilical cables with Mundorf silver/gold wire and according to...

    Innuos Statement: Nextgen vs Non-Nextgen

    Are you sure they change the toroid and supply new cables? The regulare Statement also have a 540VA toroid. When I asked about the new design this was the replay and it is from a source that knows what he is talking about. "The only original parts left of the standard PSU are the case and...

    TAD D1000-TX, DA1000-TX

    I tried both C2000 and C600 with my D1000mk2, to my ears the C2000 did not add much the C600 was another thing. I decided to upgrade my D1000mk2 to the new DA1000TX instead that made more sense in my system with no other sources than my streamer.

    TAD D1000-TX, DA1000-TX

    I have listened to many different systems at my dealer and also different electronics in my system driving TAD speakers but have most of the time thought that TAD driving TAD sounds the best :)

    TAD D1000-TX, DA1000-TX

    My phone takes really bad pictures when the light is bad but here's a picture of my rack. As I wrote the silver DA1000 will be replaced by a black one in the spring.

    TAD D1000-TX, DA1000-TX

    I dont use the CD/SACD player so no need for me to get a D1000TX. I just bought a D1000mk2 over the DA1000 a few years ago as it was available in black but today you can get both models in both silver or black so it was a easy choice now and my dealer had a DA1000 that I could borrow until my...
