The endpoint is generally where the music is decoded, i.e., the player. The server tells the player what to play and where to find it. My feeling is if you have separate server and player, the player is more important for sound quality. I’ve proven this to myself many times, also the player...

Inflation & cost increases have certainly hit the High End audio market hard, a 30% increase in price looks fairly typical. I'm sure the price increases for the consumer reflect how much the manufacturers pay for parts, R&D and labor. Everything has gone up in price, nevertheless, at some point...

Stephen, sorry for all the questions. I'm waiting to hear back from a local Innuos dealer to see if he has units available to audition, but I do have one additional important question (at least to me). My DAC requires a kernel version of at least 6.1.xx in order to play DSD256, are you able to...

If I had a Zen NG serving music storage and server duties connected directly to a USB DAC in my main system, could I also use this to stream to a squeezelite endpoint in another room (not simultaneously)? The squeezelite endpoint would not be running on an Innuos unit. If I buy a Zen NG it would...

John, I suspect that Asset UPnP may be using DLNA or OpenHome to connect to your Aries G1.1 rather than UPnP as Auralic has never supported straight UPnP. Why aren't using using your Zen Mini Mk3 for playback, seems you are only using it as storage and server? Thanks.

Auralic has never supported UPnP and probably never will. Mr. X seems very stubborn about certain things, e.g., UPnP, adding Squeezelite, overhauling LDS control App, which is one of the reasons I have not used my Aries G2 in over a year. They seem more interested in creating SoTA hardware and...

As far as I know, the Pulsar is a streamer-only unit with no onboard storage capability. For your local files you would need a NAS or other networked storage system. Playing local files, i.e., your ripped CD's, is still called streaming. Sorry, I am not familiar with your Aperio so can't say how...

Set it to Native DSD and try to play a DSD file. If it doesn't work, set it to DSD over PCM (DOP) and you should be good.

@Stephen Healy Does Sense support the Work tag or Work/Part tags? Thanks.

Stephen, thank you for your response. I thought that I had found this info on the website some months ago but couldn't relocate it to confirm. Now I have the dilemma of sorting out the Pulsar vs Zen Next-Gen bit. I always thought it was best to isolate storage drives from streamer using a NAS...

Hello! First time posting on the Forum. I am currently looking at Innuos products (Pulsar, Zen Next-Gen) to replace my current streaming setup and I'm finding the number of choices/options a bit overwhelming. I'd like to start with a simple but critical question: When using Sense, is there a...
