ehoz replied to Music Enthusiast's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
I may not have given enough time to tambaqui > power amp directly, but for me i find theres bit more oomph, sparkle etc with the preamp. -

How much does a preamp make a difference to Tambaqui. Are folks listening to the Tambaqui connected to a pre or an amp directly ? -
@Blackmorec - i hardly do streaming. Most of my music is on he local hdd of the zenith.

Does anyone else find the innuos zenith sound quality starts to degrade every now and then. It helps with a restart... clear diff in resolution. How often do you restart the server?

Differences in sound: DAC vs. DAC + Pre-amplifier
ehoz replied to SoundSparks's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
I tried this today my chain is: zenith - direcstream ( ) - bhk pre - brytston 4b3 - spendor d9 with out the preamp the sound was harsh, dry and off. i love it with preamp. For my ears and my chain - preamp makes a huge diff. -
I know bits are bits and know the conversation between flac and aiff. innuos support have not yet responded, so I’m unsure about changes that really impact 1.4.5. But I am simply trying to get the tonal signature that I know 1.4.4 had back. I don’t know if this is the culprit or not but last night on some tracks there was a clear diff playing a aiff file vs flac. It happened when the same track on flac via Qobuz seemed fuller and meatier than aiff which I had actually downloaded. the diff was clear. how this is possible I don’t know - but the flac version sounded a lot clos

Btw I have a zenith mk3 as well

Hi @kennyb123 thanks for helping to triage this. my dac - directstream does not get impacted by the native dsd processing available in some dacs per fw 1.4.5 I should clarify directstream does appear in the list but my understanding is they do implement xmos on their usb interface. However i am still sending DoP and not native dsd to the DAC

Just clarifying - i dont use roon or experimental. Just straight up LMS. I think giving the user the choice to upgrade or roll back would be great. I am Saying roll back to n-1 version or the current version. If the use logs a support ticket that might necessitate an upgrade.
