To echo Dan, adjusting the digital volume would indeed mean its no longer 'bitperfect', though the implications of this are not quite as severe as the perception seems to be. The quality is still very good, and perhaps not a given that a separate preamplifier is automatically better. But in any...

Grounding is a passive upgrade you can make to your system overall and can be connected in many ways. There are grounding products from several brands like CAD, Entreq, Puritan Audio, Chord Company etc. The need for it varies from system to system, so I would say that you can explore this if you...

There isn't an exact ETA just yet, but the update will not be within Q1.

We're still waiting on Apple, from our point of view we are hoping to group Airplay 2 along with several other features in a large software update due later on this year.

It's part of an overall bug that is affecting a few behaviours with new music under Qobuz: https://community.innuos.com/threads/duplicated-albums-under-qobuz-albums-tab.1226/ We will look to resolve in the next update.

Optical drives tend to be pretty universal in this regard - if it says it will work with MacOS, then that means it should work with Linux. You would only encounter a potential issue if you found an optical drive that very explicitly states that it will ONLY work on Windows and requires very...

Yes, I was thinking 'Classical' as a tag would in fact just become a kind of umbrella or grouping for an entirely separate set of tags that all relate to the Classical genre as a whole, to which 'Russian Opera' would belong.

A STATEMENT Next-Gen that is built from the factory is, component-by-component, just the same as an original STATEMENT that had the upgrade treatment. The only real difference to factor in is that an original STATEMENT will retain its chassis, motherboard (with SSD and RAM) and Phoenix output...

Regarding the comment from @pending over on the Feature Request section with respect to too many tag checkboxes; I think this is a good point. Classical does come with a huge amount of potential 'sub genres' and any number of ways for further tagging, as further demonstrated by @cantorgale...

Also, your point about the number of tag checkboxes is a good one, and something i discussed with our dev manager - will loop back to this over on the Classical Mode thread.

We have had several reports (and have replicated internally) that when browsing Qobuz or TIDAL music within its dedicated category in Sense app, if an album is chosen to view within the 'New Releases' for example, then when going back to all the new album releases the UI snaps back to the top of...

In the case of local files, on the Genre & Tags category on the Music tab it is quite easy to merge tags into one another to 'boil down' too many entries which I have done quite a few times before. But you are quite right, this does not apply to streaming services which would need to be handled...

Also worth pointing out that if you have an music library that is 100% Classical, or have only a tiny amount of non-Classical, then I think the no-brainer is just option 2 where by default we just immediately enable all albums with the expanded 'classical' data fields. For the handful of...

Indeed Classical has further complexities, but with this comes the difficulty of how that works in the overall Sense library and how we do easily segragate these differences from non-Classical music. Option 2 does feel like this is the easier option, whereby if you wanted to listen to...

Hi again everyone, I'm returning with another topic for discussion over how Classical albums will be handled in Sense. As you know, Classical titles need more associated information with it than other mainstream pop/rock genres. Also, one of the greatly requested aspects of Classical is for...
