    WD RED 1TB SN700 NAS NVMe M.2 2280 SSD

    Is the WD RED 1TB SN700 NAS NVMe M.2 SSD, still preferred by Innuos for Zen NG, or are there other brands. I only need 1TB Thanks

    Zen NG Series phased out?

    To be honest, I think the person has their wires crossed. Thank you for confirming.👍

    Zen NG Series phased out?

    Please forgive me if this post breaks any Community rules, or it’s on the wrong forum. I am still waiting to demo the Stream 3 and Zen Next Gen. Hopefully it will be by the end of the week. I am a dCS DAC owner and someone on our dCS Community forum, mentioned that Innuos intends to concentrate...

    INNUOS vs USB-cables

    It's funny how cables definitely work in some circumstances, but not in others. Back in 2002, my old speakers had cheap, grey wire. The type of wire you would wire a doorbell up with. I went to Richer Sounds and he sold me speaker cable costing £1.50 a metre! Blimey, it was night and day! Like a...

    INNUOS vs USB-cables

    I hope @fireguy doesn’t mind, but may I jump in and ask, is the PhoenixNet in addition to your system and you are still using a USB connection between your Pulsar and DAC? Have you got an upgraded USB board on your Pulsar? Thanks👍

    INNUOS vs USB-cables

    McIntosh and Accuphase were on my short list of amps just before Christmas, but because I’m a boring old sod that likes minimal and clean lines, I went for the Vitus SIA-025. It blew my Naim 300DR right out of the water. But it should have done, it was 3 times the price!😲 The Anzus cables look...

    INNUOS vs USB-cables

    Thank you Stephen. I have read that this morning. It has been written very well, so even people like me can understand it.😁 Normally when I have had streamers in the past, including my Bluesound Node, Naim NDX 2, I have always used LAN, as the DAC is built in. This will be uncharted territory...

    LAN vs USB for Zen NG and dCS Bartók Apex DAC

    Thank you…I definitely want Innuos to be just the Server and use the superb dCS DAC to be what is was intended for…a DAC. I personally am not overly struck by the dCS app. It works, but it’s quite basic. I am looking forward to using Sense. Thanks👍

    INNUOS vs USB-cables

    Please may I ask what you now use? I’m having this constant debate on dCS site, USB vs LAN. Innuos appear to recommend the USB option. I haven’t actually purchased my Innuos just yet, as I’m wondering if I should get the PhoenixUSB module upgrade on the Zen NG? Thanks

    LAN vs USB for Zen NG and dCS Bartók Apex DAC

    Hi everyone…my first post on the Community site. I am about to order a Zen NG, or Zenith NG. But before I do, I need to know if it is worth paying for a pre-installed PhoenixUSB board. Yes, I could have it installed further down the line, but I think I’d rather get it done in one hit? I must...
