Antipodes Audio - K22 G4

To my ears, in my system, the Antipodes is fast, dynamic, and musical. It's detailed without a hint of harshness. 

I have purchased an Antipodes K22 G4.

Should have it by mid next week. The clincher was I can upgrade to the Antipodes K41 G4 Server (an additional box, but I don’t mind that) later on and that will bring it up to K50 G4 level performance by all accounts.

By selling my 3x Innuos set up and 1x Wireworld Platinum USB cable,  the change  over cost was minimal as I got the K22 from the Antipodes Dealer who is also the importer in my Country.

That isn’t the case with Innuos, dealer margin and Innuos popularity in my country made the upgrade - to say a ZEN NG with 2TB SSD - a massive difference price wise. 

While not exactly what you’re looking for, I upgraded from a Zenith Mk 3/Phoenix USB  to an Antipodes K50 G4. In my system, with my ears, the K50 was a significant upgrade (clarity, realism, separation.) over the Innuos gear. 

I also like that the Antipodes offers digital outputs other than USB, I prefer AES/EBU. The user upgradeable storage is another big plus. 

I do prefer the Innuos Sense app, however, over Roon. 

When I was planning my upgrade, I considered the new NG Innuos products but found their product naming to be confusing and their trade up program wasn’t very attractive. 

I have been looking at the K22 as an upgrade for my Zenith MkIII. Please follow up with your thoughts once you have had some time with the new unit.
