I will say that compared to the Zenith III, the Mini III with Reclocker brought me a little bit more body. Without the re-clocker the Zenith III wins over the Mini without question. With it, in my system, not really. I could have bought the Zenith III but went with the Mini III, Power Supply and Re-Clocker. Works for me, and if I upgrade to the Zenith III in a year or whenever I am sure the Phoenix will help that and it will be better than the Mini III with the Phoenix. As is I will be happy for a long while with this. Used a Sonos for the last several years. This is a HUGE upgrade. As I write this, I am listening to the Mini III and Phoenix. My power supply has not come in yet...but when it does I expect a little jump up again. If we talk cost, retail of the Mini III 1 TB, Power Supply and Phoenix come in at around ($1249 = $3149 + $699 = ) $5097. This is MORE than a Zenith III 1TB, yes, and for me, it added body and did the space thing better than the Zenith III alone. Makes sense too. It's not going to be as good as a Zenith III with Phoenix though. But that is a much more expensive option. Thanks.
