Martin I purchased the Innuos Zenith 3 with the Innuos Phoenix about 8 months ago and so far it is the most enjoyable and thrilling playback I’ve experienced at home to date . However a couple issues I find a little troubling according to my dealer any hardware upgrades that may become available owners would need to send their server back to the manufacturer, Other then a dealer network here in North America Innuos have not set up any technical representative for warranty work or any likely hardware upgrades in the future. Secondly the Phoenix, it is an obvious upgrade with comparison listening which apparently brings the playback performance close to Statement model according to those whom did the comparison listening. It’s too bad Innuos did not incorporate the Phoenix in the Zenith for those like me that see the Phoenix as a $3400.00 add on box that needs further money spent on it for an additional power cord and USB cable . So your question is certainly a valid one if you were to purchase a Zenith 3 , will there be a new and improved Zenith MK4 or a complete new design,.. |

Very happy with the Zenith Mk3. While you may upgrade the clocking at the Zenith level, it is actually more powerful to update the Dac‘s clock since under USB the Dac slaves the server. What would be nice would be a Mk4 with 10m BNC input, though. That said the sound quality of the Innuos is hard to beat at the price point. BTW, there is an easy ugrade to be had by inserting an Intona Isolator between Dac and server. |
