Innuous Zenith Mk III Arrives Tomorrow

Gee Ron 17 great minds think alike!

We were suggesting the same thing. The Isoacoustic sound nearly as good as the Stillpoints for way less money, the new Critical Mass Sound Stage footers are in a different league.  Ron if you want to make a profound change in the sound of your system the Critcal Mass footers are more akin to a major component upgrade then any footer we have ever used 

We like the Wirworld Platinum ethernet cable as the best affordable  ethernet we have used. Our reference class ethernet the LH Labs $2k  cable which has a powered Femto clock in the cable is the best we have tested.

The new Audioquest power cords are really good not flexible, but great sound for the price.

Tweek away you are going to be in for a sweet ride.

Does the zenith mini mk3 have an internal dac or does it need an external dac to run?

No DAC

I just unboxed the unit last night and all I can say so far is this thing is the easiest component of it's kind to set up that I have ever experienced.  Literally plug it in, connect to the network and DAC, power up and transfer music files.  I set mine up with the Roon core on the unit itself.  That part was so simple and painless.  Transferring music from my NAS to the unit took about two hours but was really easy.  

I only spent about an hour listening to music on it so far.  I can say that it sounds great but I need more time to evaluate.  I think it needs some break in time as well.  I'll be listening all weekend.

Really excited for you!  I would connect the Zenith to your DAC and just let it run for days....After a week of playing it will sound better.

Thanks for the suggestions but I use Stillpoints Ultra 6's under my Zenith and a Nordost Heimdall 2 ethernet cable along with a Valhalla 2 USB cable....very happy with the sound I'm getting and don't think your products would be an upgrade.
