Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?

Hello There,

Hoping to tap into the collective insight of this group. I am planning to buy a music server+streamer combo and am thinking of the Innuous Zenith Mk3. And have some questions before i pull the trigger:


1. Any rumors/insights of a new version of the Zenith Mk3 launching soon? (hate to buy into this and have a new version pop up in short order. I think the Mk3 has been around for over 2 years now and so I thought i would check in with this group)


2. Any other music server/streamer combo I should consider at this price point? (the Zenith Mk3 retail is ~$4700)


My budget is to keep it under $5K. Thank you!

@audiotroy 

your continuous shilling of archane fringe products is tiring and not contributing anything of value.

Game, set and match, I guess…

If your clients are blown away I suppose they must be hard to find. Wisdom is knowing when to be quiet.

….’maybe, maybe not anyway the best way to determine what’s best for you is to actually listen to said components in your own system of course.’

Amen to that: the Zenith is quite sensitive to tweaking the USB link to the DAC: using an Intona Isolator as well as an Acoustic Revive RUT-1 Terminator helps quite a bit. I use a two pronged USB cable with the second leg providing clean 5V to the Dac. Furthermore setting it on a proper isolation platform helps as well: I use a Gingko Audio platform with good results. Finally putting an Acoustic Revive REM8 EMF canceller under the torroidal clears up fuzziness.
