Innous Zen Mini MK 3

Here goes, another streamer thread. Does anyone have any experience with this streamer, specifically with the internal DAC. The Mini is at the top of my price range and, for now, I would like to avoid buying an external DAC. How would it compare to the internal DAC in the Node 2i?
As an aside I like that the Innous has a CD ripper, but I could do without one.

As for the slot loading mechanism used in the Innuos,
the slot CD loader of my beloved Meridian G08.2 made tiny abrasions on the CD’s surface, only visible under the light of a desk lamp. I sold it for that reason only (otherwise, it was an outstanding player).

Did you notice only the slightest similar abrasion on the CD’s polycarbonate external layer with the Innuos’ slot loader?

Thanks.

I have had two Vault - the Vault 1 failed to a known problem and was replaced by a Vault 2. The Vault 2 failed last month during update of software. BlueSound says it is out of warranty, offered a reconditioned unit at reduced price.

Why would I try a Vault a third time? I found BlueSound to be unhelpful and absolutely think they should stand behind their products.

So over to the Mini I go.

PS - if anyone knows how to get to customer complaints at BlueSound or NAD would appreciate your communicating that - they must have a dispute resolution service but it is certainly well hidden and they help desk does not respond to my request for the connection.
