    INNUOS vs USB-cables

    I went from an Ansuz X2 to an Audience FrontRow USB and then back to my Ansuz X2. I found the Audience muddy in the mids. The Anzus brings life, PRAT, imaging and detail at a level the Audience couldn't deliver. For what it's worth I have the Innuos Pulsar feeding an Accuphase DC-37...

    INNUOS vs USB-cables

    @Marco1 yes you did. Thanks for the info again. I'm hoping I can get an in-home demo before purchasing the PhoenixNET. As far as USB cables go I'll continue to stick with the Ansuz line

    Does anyone here have experience with the Innuos Pulsar with the PhoenixNET?

    INNUOS vs USB-cables

    I have the Innuos Pulsar with the PhoenixUSB and I'm using an Anzus X2 USB. I'm considering adding the PhoenixNET .

    INNUOS vs USB-cables

    This is a great topic actually. USB cables don't make just a difference, they make a huge difference! Before I bought my Innuos Pulsar I had an Innuos Pulse wirh an Ansuz X2 USB feeding my McIntosh MA12000 integrated amplifier that has McIntosh DAC2 built in. I assumed it was a good USB...

    Streaming vs source

    Thanks for the feedback. My audio journey has been very educational. What do you mean by: "I would suggest considering a trade-in/part-exchange to a STREAM3"? What's a part-exchange?

    Streaming vs source

    Hello. I'm a proud owner of an Innuos Pulsar. My Pulsar feeds my Accuphase DC-37 Processor/DAC and the SQ is spectacular. I recently got a custom power cord made for my Pulsar - a FURUTECH DPS-4.1 (OCC-DUC) 11AWG Power Cable with Furutech AC FI-50-NCF(R) IEC Female and male connections - and the...

    Open Scheduled Power On/Off

    You mean add more switches that will pollute the unit with noise that Innuos has relentlessly engineered and mastered to prevent? Bad idea!

    Power cord

    I'm new to this forum and I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed but it's based on a recent revelation. Just last night after reading a forum about the Accuphase A-48S amplifier I decided to switch power cords around and I'm now using an Ansuz P2 cord to power my Innuos Pulsar Streamer...

    What would you like to see on new Innuos products?

    Sorry, I didn't mean to say that your ports are defective in any way and neither are the chords. But I do know that some chords fit snug and others are loose. My Ansuz Digitalz USB cable never fit snug into the USB port on my PULSE nor on my PULSAR, nor even on my McIntosh, so I started...

    What would you like to see on new Innuos products?

    USB ports are loose. I tried various chords and while 1 felt a little more snug, the rest were loose. I'm not sure if this has an impact on SQ because in the end I settled on my Ansuz Digitalz USB cable like I was using with my Pulse before I switched over to the Pulsar. Yes, the Ansuz cable...

    Which Dac do you find works best with your Innuos

    Yes the preamplifier is unique. It's solid state but allows you to adjust for a tube-like or a solid state-like sound and the desired warmth. I heard it with the ATC 50ASL speakers and couldn't believe how incredible something could actually sound! These units are all hand made here in Canada...

    Which Dac do you find works best with your Innuos

    Awesome! Will these speakers work in my room that's 14' wide x 21' long x 9.5' tall ? Or will the 100's be a better choice? Have you heard of the Angela-Gilbert Yeung C312 preamplifier? It's pretty impressive. And the ATC speakers just grab your soul and pull you in!

    Library

    There are 2 ways of accessing TIDAL in the Sense App though, correct? It seems a little redundant.
