H Marco, yes it would be

It's available now in terms of demo systems already being with dealers, also for ordering although I think there is a short delay in lead-time at the moment. Best to keep in touch with your dealer for more information on this.

Ah okay, well in which case yes that would make it tricky! Makes sense to use DSP or Device volume then, I suspect there is not a great deal between them but you could try living with both of the options over the course of a few days and see if you can hear any difference

DSP Volume is Roon handling volume control - but then this at odds with volume control on your amplifier. Device Volume would defer it to the Innuos, but this is still a digital-domain volume control and not all that different - and is still at odds with volume control on your amplifier. Fixed...

It's not something I have tested, perhaps CAD themselves would know better. If you happen to have a cable with a 4mm plug on it then you could compare the two and see which yields better results, but to my understanding you should not use both chassis and signal to the same GC1 simultaneously.

Auto Import should be able to process ZIP files. Just checking; after you copied the .rar into the Auto Import folder, did you then go to Sense -> SYSTEM -> Auto Import and prompt an import from there? You should have gotten a system task or some kind of notification to say it had completed. If...

The STREAM series will be no different from the PULSEmini in terms of your options there. In these types of setups, we generally recommend going fixed out to bypass DSP as much as possible, and use the volume control further down the chain (the amplifier).

Yep, a Charlie Brown Christmas for me!

I think i recall being told it does work, yes. Generally I would expect any optical drive to work, with the exception of any that seem to use some kind of proprietary connection or software that locks it into very specific systems/functions.

Ever since innuOS 2.0 / Sense release, moving things directly into the Music folder did become an option, because the library would update itself in real time. The import process and folder structure used to be quite a bit more rigid on innuOS v1; a manual re-index was needed every time any...

Just to echo @frank7036 here as we do get a lot of questions about recommended optical drives. From my own experience, I would say Asus drives are a good choice on the basis of being reputable, widely available, nicely designed and sensibly priced. They even do a 'ZEN' line, so that's quite...

I can replicate some of this to an extent; if a DAC is powered back on when the Innuos is already on and has tracks in the queue, then yes it will resume playback. If that DAC is suddenly turned off or disconnected, then Sense will defer to the next available 'player' and if that has tracks...

Re-instating the previous profiles is made slightly tricky by the fact that the underlying platform of SenseUPnP is different; in the previous iteration we were actually leveraging a plugin which is no longer the case. Creating a profile takes a lot of time and resources to get into a stable...

I will have our QA team test this, as I also use an HP Envy laptop and have tried very rapidly scrolling through the Tracks view, and do not get 'snapping' back to the top of the list. Also tried on my Android Pixel 9 phone which also does not seem to do this. I tried both of these whilst...

Tethering USB drives to the streamer like this is quite detrimental to the noise floor of the USB subsystem and does affect sound quality, this is why we choose not to have it fully integrate into the library. You achieve much greater results by having a device with properly integrated internal...
