Innuos Zen MK3 tips and tricks

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. 

“settings for ripping CDs”
It depends on your priorities. Do you have lot of CD’s to rip? Are you able to discern differences between WAC vs FLAC?

I have upto 16TB of space, so my entire library of CD’s are in WAV. To my ears, WAV files sounds slightly better than FLAC. Even though most people cannot tell a difference between FLAC vs WAV, FLAC is a compressed file and uses more processing power to decompress whereas WAV is technically a perfect copy of the original audio file…zero compression. 

I have only ripped to Apple Music back when I had my iPod (those were the days).  I assume WAC sounds better but takes up more storage space.  I will go with WAC to maximize the sound quality.  Thanks.  

The dealer is setting it up for the Sense app so I won’t mess with it.  Access to more live Dead is tempting though.  Thanks.  

You’ll love it, I love mine and it’s been trouble free since 2020 when I bought it. The sense app is great!
