Aurender vs. Roon
Troy / Dave is 100% right to recommend Innuos! It is a great server, one of the best out there, especially for the money.And to be clear, you don't need Roon to use Innuos ZEN or ZEN Mini or ZENith. You can use use it with SqueezeLite endpoint, or... 
How much difference does an anti-vibration audio rack make
Good racks matter. A lot. I was skeptical and resistant on these for the past 10-12 years, until I put them in my own system.And they don’t have to be Uber expensive. Something like my Mapleshade Samson rack will do well. Not pretty, but it does t... 
Rack for Pass XA30.8
Mapleshade for sure. Especially the 4" thick ones 
Aurender vs. Roon
Very nice! It seems like you know what you are doing.You can still use your SOtM txulraUSB / sPS-500 combo on your ZEN USB out to your DAC. Most likely it will provide further improvement vs. simply USB out from ZEN.If you can afford it, go for ZE...

@grannyring  : what is your DAC? 
Aurender vs. Roon
William:I think you won't be disappointed with Innuos. They are great!I am a bit skeptical on using them for heavy DSP duties. Still.And I don't know how the comparison is relevant with the SOtM trifecta. None of those components is a Server. Innu...

Most likely user error. Nucleus is pretty much set it and forget it with no maintenance whatsoever  
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
@mzkmxcv: If you cannot differentiate MP3 and CD with $12,000 speakers, $9,000 Amp and over $6,000 DAC, then I seriously question your hearing. I am 100% serious on this. No joke.Over the course of a year that you have joined Audiogon (btw with ze... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Funny that 2009 study is the first that comes up when I googled it, with a broken link.However, you were persistent enough to find it!A big sample of a whole 13 people! With a mean age of 27!!?Their second conclusion was fine, until the last part:...

Ah OK @grannyring  I thought you were asking me, as your post was immediately after mine. I admit the Audiogon Forum format is confusing, as there are no features like "reply" or "quote". My bad.So you were asking @audiotroy  ?

@grannyringWhy don’t you ask Innuos direct or your dealer @grannyring ?If you were asking me, how long does it take if ordering one today, I don’t have an answer to that. I am not a dealer, neither do I want to ask them, as I already got mine

Got a link to that @mzkmxdkfhfnms ?

I got mine (ZENith MK3) a couple of weeks ago. I am in USA. I was in preorder since November.When did you order yours?Yes, they sold out first batch of MK3 on preorders alone.
