Why we install Innuos Performance DAC Board – Stream Output Module
The Innuos Performance DAC Board – Stream Output Module is a tidy solution where an Innuos source needs to feed an analogue hi-fi system without adding another separate box to the rack. In a typical Hidden Home Technology install, that might be a dedicated two-channel room, a discreet living-room music system, or a secondary listening zone where simplicity matters as much as sound quality. It suits systems built around a good integrated amplifier, pre-amplifier or active speaker arrangement, particularly where the client wants the Innuos platform to remain the main point of control for stored music and streaming services. Setup is not simply a case of plugging it in and walking away: we look at gain structure, fixed versus variable output where applicable, cable routing away from network and power noise, firmware status, and how the source behaves within the wider home network. We would generally specify this board when the priority is a clean, compact signal path and a neater rack; if the system is being voiced around a particular standalone DAC, or the owner wants more scope for future digital upgrades, an external converter may still be the better route. It is a product for making an Innuos-based system feel more resolved and less cluttered, rather than for adding complexity. Visit our Bath showroom to hear how an Innuos source performs both with integrated conversion and through alternative DAC options.
