Innuos ZENith Mk3. No Compromise Streamer/Server.

Now at True Audiophile

We listened to all server streamers we could. They were either way too much money for what they delivered or too complex. Innuos is taking over the world market because they are none of those issues. Brilliantly simple to use and modestly priced. Built from the ground up including their OS. -- TA

Before we launch into the Innuos rave reviews, here are the fundamental differences of the Zenith: 

• All the superb qualities of the Zen PLUS Triple Linear Power Supply with ultra-low noise regulators and premium Mundorf capacitors.
• SSD storage with EMI and vibration treatment.
• 8GB RAM with 4GB in-memory playback.
• More revealing
• More transparent
• Better attack, better PRAT overall
• Bass is more distinct, overall greater dynamics
• Soundstage is bigger and deeper
• Better vibration control

Standard Storage : 1 TB  ( 2TB  --  + $650  /   4TB -- + $1400 )

   What I adore about the Zenith MK2‘s usability from Innuos is that it’s not a celebration of what can be achieved in the future, it’s a celebration of what can be achieved right now. 

   The Zenith isn’t just another streamer, it has its own personality and that’s Important. Innuos have designed a complete fuss free digital front end, that combines carefully chosen hardware and sophisticated software into an easy to use product which has honesty and transparency at its heart.  
  The sound of a Zenith 2 is transparent, honest and truthful and any system that reflects a balance that the user is happy with will benefit from its implementation. Setup and usage is easy and playback and library management is straightforward and intuitive.

   tonally neutral, ultra resolved, rhythmically in the pocket and spatially dimensional 

   With their flagship ZENith MkII, our newer firm Innuos has a music server/player that's very solidly made, attractively styled, super fast due to its SSD and a poster child for user friendliness and intuitive use. Particularly the browser interface makes chores like tags, rips, imports and backup scheduling easy as pie. This should be the gold standard.

   All in all, it’s a very hard act to beat for anyone looking to push streaming quality to the max. 

   ZENith delivers a highly coherent, vibrant, and engaging sound that hangs together very well indeed.  
  It delivers instrument timbre, reverb, and more importantly does so in such a fashion that it sounds like musicians playing together. This is not something that streaming systems do as a matter of course, or arguably digital audio as a whole for that matter.

   It’s solid, pretty job of real aficionados 

   My laptop has been adapted to play files, since it features SSD, and one of the latest versions of the JPlay software player installed personally by Martin Ostapowicz, and I had a chance to use it with dozens of different DACs, so I know it well.  
  The server under review offers better performance, hands down. In terms of reliability, convenience and sound quality.
