Innuos Zenith

Hi guys great thread. VN according to Mark Sosa the US importer their will be an upgrade path to the latest servers, the total costs have not been figured out but the number seems very reasonable.


David_12 we also agree with you on the footers, we do think that the Isoacoustics come very close to the Stillpoints for a fraction of the price.

Ron Innuous lists Spotify as one of their options and we tried through the mickey mouse Iping and orange pc things, neither one of those options was good. Innuous does need to allow for additional non Roon based streaming services to be on the box.

Also agree on the Aurender comparison the Innuous comes very close to really expensive servers.’

Just upgraded the isolation under my Zenith mk2 SE to Stillpoints Ultra 6’s and WOW what an improvement over Nordost Sort Kones TC’s. The upgrade from the stock feet to the Nordost TC’s was big but going from Nordost TC’s to the Ultra 6’s was even bigger..... Also one of the reasons I chose the Innuos was because of the ability to use Roon. I use Roon’s DSP EQ to tame a 40hz peak I wasn’t able to fully control with ASC tube traps. Using the traps in conjunction with Roon’s DSP EQ has taken my system to another level. If Aurender had offered the ability to use Roon I would have upgraded my N100h to the N10, but they don’t and I’m very happy with my Innuos.

Currently, I run LMS on a Synology NAS. I am very interested in the Zenith MKII. Does anyone know if it will support the LMS AirPlay bridge plugin?

This important to me because my whole house stereo system consists of Squeezebox Duets, Raspberry Pi DACs, and AirPlay enabled (DNLA) Riva WAND speakers. Since Roon does not support DNLA, it is out of the question.

 So the Zenith MKII is $6k and the next up (the two chassis unit) will be $14k.

Seems to me the ‘sold out’ SE  is/will be a hole in the lineup and may be shooting themselfs on the foot by not continuing to offer it.  Seems like a bad business move. ?? 

Or does the forthcoming MKIII bridge the large gap line up? 

I bought the Zenith MKII and I must say, it's SQ is a lot better than my Mac 7008 MCD and Squeezebox Duet!  Plus, I no longer need/use  either of those on my main system.  

Since Roon does not support the ability to synchronize "rooms" that use different protocols, I use LMS as my primary music manager.  I really like what Roon has to offer, so if that were to change, I'd make the switch.
