Innuous Zenith Mk III Arrives Tomorrow

@stebrn 

I'd be happy to share my thoughts on what I have tried and liked as far as isolation and aftermarket power cords for my Innuos Zenith mk2 se.

I will send you a PM to avoid any further conflict with the retailer on this thread.

@snackeyp yes I have the same problem. With my brand new ZEN MK3. The system shuts down while ripping a CD. Bummer!

I have no Roon installed

@stebrn. glad you are so happy with MKIII vs NAIM Uniti. I have two Unit on HD and another SSD, both getting a bit long in the tooth. The HD runs into an Aesthetix Pandora SIG and the SSD into a Lampizator Amber 2, both have HRS isolation, bricks and Pardo LPS.....what DAc are you running and could you describe differences ? Did you consider the new CORE ? I get that it does not include streamer functionality, etc....

your inputs appreciated

Tomic/Jim, in answer to your questions: I’m using an Aurilac Vega dac (the original version). It’s working well but I’m  considering a newer model—Aqua, PS Audio and others.  Compared to the Naim Unitiserve, the Innuous has a solid state hard drive (not a disc drive), it has accurate information when copying   discs (the Naim often had inaccurate data and required manual entry to get it right), it’s compatible with Roon, and the sound is superior.  Not sure I can put the superiority into words. It’s detailed, and lifelike on good recordings.  The sound stage is wide for large scal music and focused with smaller scale work. (my KEF Reference 5 speakers contribute a lot to this). Hope that helps.  

@snackeyp. I’ve had a MKII for about 6 months and just started using Roon.  The MKII has dropouts when I enable DSP.  Are you successfully using DSP with the MKIII?
