innuos zenith mk3 music server

HiFi Choice review of the Innuos ZENith,

The Innuos ZENith Mk3 media server is the ideal digital storage device for high quality separates and high end hi-fi systems.

CDs can be ripped in FLAC or WAV formats, but will also play back AIFF, ALAC, AAC, MP3 and hi-res files.

On board streaming services also allow access to Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz, bringing even greater flexibility to an already great package. Internet radio is also accessible.

Use the Innuos ZEN to stream music to wireless music products around the house, or control it directly and plug it into any USB equipped DAC or hi-fi product.

Being entirely digital, the ZENith can be plugged into a USB equipped DAC and controlled directly as a media player. An AudioQuest DragonFly USB DAC can be added to give an analogue output to plug directly into any amplifier or hi-fi system.

The ZENith Mk3 provides one 2.0 USB and one 3.0 USB connections, as well as ethernet. A second ethernet connection allows direct ethernet streaming.

Bespoke 'innuOS' editing software makes it extremely easy to change or add metadata and artwork via any web browser on a desktop PC or even a phone or tablet. Easy to use, versatile, and above all reliable.

The ZENith is also Roon compatible, allowing it to function as part of a Roon ready system, or to be used as a stand alone Roon source.

A premium triple linear power supply with trickle down technology from the ZENith SE - a medical grade mains filter, ultra low noise regulators, and Mundorf capacitors provide the cleanest signal and the highest quality for high end hi-fi systems.

The metal casework of the ZENith MkIII allows for much better heat dissipation than conventional plastic cased NAS drives, and along with its build quality, vibration and EMI treated solid state SSD storage, all provide silent, ultra low noise operation.

Strategically placed asymmetrical feet are now a standard feature of the ZENith as a result of the development of the feature for the ZENith SE.

The full width ZENith MkIII media server uses a Quad Core Intel PCU, and comes equipped with either 1TB, 2TB or 4TB of solid state SSD digital storage.
