innuos zenith statement music server

the absolute sound Editor's Choice Award,

The Innuos ZENith Statement provides one 2.0 USB, one 3.0 USB connection, (the latter for back-up purposes), and a dedicated reclocked USB output for connection directly to a DAC. An ethernet port provides network connection and a reclocked ethernet port for direct streaming audio streaming. Being entirely digital, the ZENith Statement is unspoiled by analogue circuitry, and its design allows it to be connected directly to any USB equipped DAC and used as a direct media player, only using your network for control purposes. The only limiting factor to sound quality will be the DAC you plug it into...

The Innuos ZENith Statement music server is the ultimate digital storage device for high quality separates and high end hi-fi systems where the best possible digital reproduction is required. The linear power supply is housed in a full size separate enclosure to remove any possibility of electromagnetic noise or interference. From this high quality power supply, designed in partnership with Dr. Sean Jacobs, eight independent power rails feed each individual component of the Statement.

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

TIDAL, and Qobuz, as well as internet radio, add the flexibility of media streamers to the ZENith Statement, making it the only digital source you may ever need.

Bespoke 'innuOS' editing software makes it extremely easy to edit 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 Statement is Roon compatible, allowing it to function as part of a Roon ready system, or to be used as a stand alone Roon source, connected directly to a DAC via reclocked USB. Roon gathers all of your network stored music and TIDAL together to browse and search in one place, and provides in-depth artist and album info, listing locally available gig tickets, and providing a flexible parametric equaliser to help deal with room acoustics, or just to have music sound the way you want it to.

The independent linear power supply, medical grade mains filter, ultra low noise regulators, and specialised capacitors provide the cleanest signal, the lowest noise floor, and the highest quality for high end hi-fi systems.

The dampened metal casework of the ZENith Statement allows for much better heat dissipation than conventional plastic cased NAS drives, and along with its build quality and solid state SSD storage, provides fast, silent operation.

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