Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?

Here is one

If you notice the model the op was comparing was the Aeon a 7500 server which he preferred over rhe 14k statement and all those other servers which are also  twice the price 

Oh dear. You said “several” European forums and yet you can only post one link? And that to a forum which has next to no reputation in “Europe” (whatever that vague term might be taken to mean in this context). It’s biggest posters are the people who own it talking to each other. As for the report in question. It’s written by someone who distributes and spots a gimmick he can push. Some of it is demonstrable tosh. I’ve had a Zenith 3 since last December and once set up properly I can comfortably get Qobuz quality which comes increasingly close to my CD rips. Can it exceed? No. Can anything exceed? No.  Can the Evo do that? Nowhere near. Literally nowhere near. Closer to the Zen 3. Certainly very competitive but there is a world of difference between that and market leader. 
The implication of your post was that you switched server sides based on the reports coming out of these forums and yet now you can’t remember any links? Try harder. Right now you’re a dealer selling BS.

Oh the aching silence.

Enough said. 

Maybe I should have said the Auralic has a more resolution and less dark sound than the Innuos Zenith and Lumin U1 mini.
