Sense is free, I am an Android user but did a quick search and saw that there is a client downlaod for ipad. I've had my Zenith for over a year and a half so I don't remember the exact breakin but it was better than the Bluesound Vault I was using right out of the box and I seem to remember an improvement after 25-30 hours? I do leave the unit on 24/7 unless I know I am not going to be listening for a few days.

I think you'll like the Zenith Mk3. For me, it was a vast improvment over the Zen Mini. I found that Stillpoint Ultra Mini's worked better than Iso Acoustic Orea's under the Zenith. Far and away the largest improvement I heard came from adding an Uptone Audio EtherRegen with Supra Cat8 ethernet cables between the wall jack and the Mk3. I use a USBePerfect USB filter and an Underwood Silver USB cable between the Zenith and DAC. I too leave the Zenith on 24-7 but reboot every two weeks or so. Because of DSP, I use Roon. When I tried it, however, Sense worked very well. Enjoy |
I have a Zenith MK3 and I'm using it with an ENO filter and Silnote Epirus Reference cable. I also tried it with Curios Cable and didn't hear any difference between the two. Audio Envy Mega 3 power cord. I'm also wondering how long it takes the Zenith to break-in? I remembered reading around 200 hours somewhere. Perhaps @antigrunge2 @grannyring can shed some light. Also, do you guys keep it on all the time (I'm talking about the front power switch)? |
I just found out from the sales team whom is selling the unit states about two weeks 24/7 for full break in. I’ll just put a playlist on repeat. What I find hard to fathom.. it’s 2021 and jitter has not been eliminated yet? I’ll be running the Zen into a Yggdrasil. Both units have an isolated/dedicated USB port. From what I understand digital music was never meant to be played via usb. The intended standard was Spdif. Supposedly in order for the Yggdrasil - for best sound quality. Aes / Usb / Spdif .. that order leaves me beffudled by the engineers at Schitt. As a counterpoint. If both units have an isolated / specialized usb input, Then why have recloclers? The phoenix makes a bit of sense with the LPS. Though I feel for the price it should have offered 3 outputs. Aes, Spdif, and Usb. I2S as a special bonus. Ha! Oh wait I2S will come with the phoenix 2.........
For the life of me I fail to find the sense app for iOS. May someone provide a link please. How does sense rival the Innuos in house app?
Thanks again, J |
