Innuos Zen MK3 tips and tricks


I am purchasing an Innuos Zen MK3 with 1TB.  Will be streaming QoBuz and ripping CDs Qobuz doesn’t have, mostly extras from box sets and live sets.  I will be using the Innuos app controlling the unit from my iPad.  Please share any tips or tricks you’ve learned from running a similar setup.  For example, settings for ripping CDs etc.

I have the same streamer.  Setup was very simple. I don't recall anything special, but my memory sucks and that was months ago. 

You can set the ripper to automatically rip a CD when it's inserted, or do it manually.  I let it do it automatically. Pop in a CD and around 5 minutes later, it pops out and it's done. Pretty slick.  Before I got the Innuos, I tried ripping software on a laptop and never got consistent results.

I think you'll like the Innuos and the Sense app. 

You can access the LMS configuration here:

Note the cautions, and don’t mess with it if you don’t know what you are doing. Some of the config has no effect as far as I can tell. For example, LMS provides support for accessing the Live Music Archive (Deadhead ears perk up), but enabling it does not make it appear as a feature in the Sense app. I wish it did.
