MEASUREMENTS
s with the Roon Nucleus+ that I reviewed in the August 2018 issue, it’s difficult to determine what measurements would be meaningful with a product like the Innuos Statement. However, when I examined the analog output of an Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty D/A processor with the Roon server, I did find that sourcing J-Test data via USB from the Nucleus+ gave a slightly cleaner spectrum than when the same data was sourced from my MacBook The Ayre DAC has long since been returned to the manufacturer, but I did have three D/A processors with USB inputs that I could use to investigate what the effect was of sourcing data from the Innuos server rather than the laptop: an original Mytek Brooklyn, an AudioQuest DragonFly Red, and an AudioQuest DragonFly Cobalt.
