I also feel that the current product's off the shelf max. 4TB internal storage is a bit limited, given the wide range of high-res music formats available today.     

True, and Innuos have just “upgraded” to 8TB internal storage.

previous Statements can be upgraded.

All good

Hi str-1,

not Nuno but I'll share my 2 cents worth.

I have a Statement NextGen, and several network optimisations feeding a PN, that goes into my Statement.

That PN did provide further uplift to sound quality, hence it is likely (but YMMV, as usual) that it would provide you the same.

Having said that, I was then able to try a second PN within the above config, to see if that too would bring an improvement.

I tried many placements of the second PN; in short, it was very modest at best any perceived improvement i.e. not worth it.

 

Clearly, diminishing returns kick in at a certain point, but I'm confident that with an extra PN just before the Statement, you'll improve the situation.

 

Now for Nuno's feedback :-)

If you’re in London, a friend is selling his (and it’s the one I tried) and he might let you try it, if you’re interested.

PM me if you are .
