Innuos and Roon

Mi4 we are Innuous dealers, so yes we can answer your question.

The Innuous servers all of them were designed to Run Roon Core.

We have a Zenith MK Ii on display and have sold the Zen model as well.

The best bang for the buck is the Zenith. The Zenith is one of the best sounding servers for the money and is very well designed for both the professional user as well as the novice.

The Zenith uses a fantastic custom designed linear power supply, custom software, and a very well designed main board, the Zenith produces a very fluid sound. 

Get yourself a good USB cable and ethrnet cable to go into your dac and you will be thrilled with the quality of your playback. 

With the Innuous servers you can easily switch from Roon Core to a UPNP server as well.

If you want to run Roon and Tidal you can't beat it, although the Innuous are supposed to run Spotify they really don't so as long as you love Roon  this is one terrific product line.

I heard the Innuous Statement at Axpona.  It's supposed to be around $15k.  I can't afford it or even the $7500 Zenith Se.  The $7500 model was very good but the Statement-Holy Moly!!!  Why isn't everyone talking about this product? Best digital I've ever heard.  A very RICH, detailed involving sound.   Wish I had more money.

I read over at Roon Forums that Innuos does not have enough CPU to run advanced Roon DSP and large libraries.

Is that true? Any Roon users here that use Innuos servers as core?

I looked at Innuos site and they don’t seem to post their CPU specs

Alex at Alma Music and Audio here in San Diego are running ROON and a massive library...something like 20 K albums....I doubt DSP but worth a call to him as he is a computer zen master also for sure.
they have the mid model, I thought it sounded good thru a very high end MSB DAC

I run my Innuos Zenith mk2 SE into a Mola Mola Makua preamp/DAC and also use Roon as core. I have almost 2 TB of standard and hi-rez files and also use the parametric EQ portion (only) of Roon’s DSP Engine. Mark Sossa of Well Pleased A/V was great to work with and helped me with all of my set-up questions. I sold my Aurender and bought the Innuos specifically to be able to use Roon and the DSP EQ. Easy to use and sounds fantastic.

Got the Innuous Zenith to replace a Naim Unitiserve.  I’m using Roon and Tidal. Works very well. Very easy to use, great sound and I’m enjoying the wide selection of classical music available on Tidal.

I have had no issues with my Zenith/Roon/DSP maybe because I only use the Parametric EQ function in the Roon DSP Engine and not the other functions like Headroom Management and more specifically Sample Rate Conversion.

I am testing an innuous  mini MK III with it setup as a Roon Core. I am inexperienced with this technology.  This is a demo Unit and my first experience with Roon. 
I have to say the innuos sound is amazing with Roon. The key is the DSP.   All rooms are different.   The Innuos with room separation, clarity and dynamics are just amazing.  My system is dead quiet no matter the volume and I am for the first time experiencing what that old power amp can do which was totally unrealized before the innous.  For my under $2,000 budget I cannot imagine better sound.  I will be getting opinions on this product later from more experienced music lovers. I am impressed with Roon so far but I am just in a learning phase. You have to demo this if you are looking for a  Roon core,  CD burner to an internal TB hard drive , Steamer.
