ZENmini S: Faster and Quieter than ever

 

At Innuos, they love to listen. They listen to music and they listen to you.
 
They heard that the ZENmini could be improved if it had an SSD option so the ZENmini S takes one of our most popular music servers and replaces the hard drive with a quiet, lightning-quick Solid-State Drive (SSD). ZENmini S upgrades the RAM from 4GB to 8GB for additional performance benefits when searching for music or copying files. It even has a power-loss protection circuit so if you lose your power, you don’t lose your music. Owners of ZENmini Mk3 can upgrade to ZENmini S by contacting their dealer. 

SSD options include 1TB, 2TB or 4TB capacities. ZENmini S upgrades are available now for owners of the ZENmini Mk3.

  • Part-time Audiophile, April 2021:

The Zen Mini, however, was so enjoyable to have in the system that I’ll have to use it as a benchmark for everything else that comes along…
In other words, the Innuos Zen Mini Mk. III with the LPSU was the last hint I needed to enter a world without physical media, at least the digital kind. I see the path I need to travel with a little more clarity, and the Zen Mini is just the searchlight I needed.

  • LowBeats awarded the ZENmini 4,8 out of 5 points - Outstanding

    Low Beats, a reference German Hi-Fi blog tested the ZENmini and the ZEN MkII. They concluded that both were very innovative, incredibly fast, easy to use with a convincing sound quality and a great price/performance ratio. They found the additional price difference between the ZENmini and ZEN worth it and less expensive than usual in HiFi systems, given the sound improvement provided by the ZEN.

Innuos Zen-Mini-Mk3 w/LPS

First the team at Trueaudiophile: The team pulled a rabbit out of a hat in arranging an expedited drop shipment to me so that I could leave the new streamer looping for break before I left for a 2 week trip. Also, I had a startup issue (my fault for having a 2nd LMS on my network that made the Innuos very unhappy. The Trueaudiophile team and specifically Marc followed up multiple times and got the Innuos tech on the phone to trouble shoot and solve. Now the product: Only got to listen for a couple hours before heading out the door for a flight BUT it was a huge step up from the bridge-II card in my PS Audio Direct Stream... and this was fresh green out of the box! More to come.

Innous Zen Mini and optional power supply

I purchased from True Audiophile. Great purchae and communication - Top Notch professionals. Product is shipped straight from factory in Portugal -- so be a little patient (faster than I expected though). Guaranteed factory fresh! The Mini is awesome library functions.. organized and imported -tremendous enhancement for a streamer. Software is easy and intuitive. Be prepared if using Roon it takes over much control (it's in the manual) but it is easy to switch back and forth for direct access to Zen mini server functions. Mostly use roon anyway. Sound quality is superb! SOme run in required. I left it run and get input for a couple days -- smoothed out considerably. Competes with my Auralic G1. with the optional power supply. it is cheaper than G1 even with power supply - which I believe is mandatory. Great experience so far - purchase and product. Well Done True Audiophile!
