You can also use a single battery to power the streamer and M scaler together. The important thing is that they are optically connected to each other.
How does your battery powered Dave performs.. still happy?You can also use a single battery to power the streamer and M scaler together. The important thing is that they are optically connected to each other.
I can't wish for anything better. Except the new Choral Scaler!How does your battery powered Dave performs.. still happy?
Yes I agree with you about the difference in sound quality between streamers. Not only that but also I have found that the playback software used by the streamer seems to have a profound effect on sound quality even when they all profess no digital processing.It's a great device. I had one for a while, but moved on, which is not meant to dismiss your choice, but I was after something else. I went through a bunch of streamers and there was always a difference in sound quality - probably power supply / noise related. We know how sensitive digital is to such things. Innuos do a lot to mitigate those issues.
I was going to be excited until I saw the price of MU1, starting price of $12,500.Hey guys. As mentioned. Ditched my mscaler for the MU1 with my dave. Its sweet. lavorgna just posted his review. Figured a bunch of dave heads would be interested:
yo can get for about 3k cheaper than that. also factor in you are getting clock, streamer and upscaler... with synergy btw everything... and single box when mscaler is about 5kI was going to be excited until I saw the price of MU1, starting price of $12,500.
My streamer journey ultimately lead me to fibre ethernet, which is not something Innuos support. Plus I'm a ROON user, and the Senore supports LMS which, to my ears, always sounds better than RAAT, so that was a second necessity. My benchmark are the qualities of sound I hear from vinyl replay, and my current digital setup has me the closest I've come yet - SFP is a key part of that.How would say the senore is an improvement?
he best solution would be a battery powered source connected via optical, so complete isolation
Depending on the electrical system even your neighbor’s washing machine has an electrical connection to your dac if it’s plugged into mains.If the source is optical, there is no need to worry about batter power (for the source)
Optical = light = no electrical connection
Leave NUC as just Roon server.OK this is a shout out to folk with brains, my Nuc, which is a dedicated Roon Server, it does not have a optical output, usb out only, so I was thinking, what is a good USB A-A or A-B to optical converter.
Basically, I just want a decent converter box that takes a usb out connection from my nuc and converts it so that I can have an optical cable coming out of said converter box and going in to my mscaler, instead of the usb a to b cable which I’m using now.
So does anyone know of a good one ? Oh and I don’t want to spend £££s for one.
