Triple-Linear Power Supply
Inspired from the high-end power supply engineering of the SE, the ZENith Mk3 benefits from new premium Mundorf capacitors with ultra-low noise regulators and a medical-grade mains filter to provide even greater audio clarity.
Custom Motherboard
Our own custom-made Innuos motherboard is completely reworked for optimised audio performance. Sources of EMI have been removed and internal clocks optimised, resulting in a "blacker" music background and enhanced realism.
Ultra-low Noise Streamer Output
Dual-ethernet ports with isolation transformers provide an ultra-low noise network connection for your streamer, removing noise from the path and improving sound quality on all network audio.
Anti-vibration and EMI Treatment
New asymmetrical isolation feet derived from our ZENith SE plus added treatment to the chassis help to combat harmful vibration that affect a clean audio signal, with even greater treatment now applied to the SSD.
In-Memory Playback
With 4GB dedicated memory, the ZENith loads music directly to memory for playback so that it doesnt need to engage the SSD during playback, improving sound quality.
Hi-Fi Choice give Recommend Award to ZENith Mk3
UK publication Hi-Fi Choice have awarded their coveted Recommended badge to the ZENith Mk3, praising the unit for having a potent and flexible spec with one of the best interfaces going, whilst it also delivers outstanding performance that will inspire confidence even for those starting out in network audio, and so should be near the top of any shortlist.
5-Star Review from Head-Fi.org
The ZENith Mk3 received a revelatory review from audiophile headphone-enthusiast site Head-Fi.org, who praise the ZENith for its substantial convenience benefits and the significant sound quality gains to be had by using a digital transport solution like the Innuos Mk3.
I would highly recommend auditioning the Innuos line of music servers and for those looking to incorporate a music server into their system, be sure to add Innuos to your shortlist.
