Innuous Zenith Mk III Arrives Tomorrow


I've been streaming my digital library and Tidal/Roon through my Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 for the past couple of months via my NAS drive and I like the sound, but I've been dissatisfied with having to use my computer to control the server.  I decided to order a Zenith III because I want to install my Roon core on this unit and have a self contained music server.  I've heard so many great things from you folks on this board about the Innuous servers I decided to go for it.  

For those of you who already own one, let me know if you have any advice for initial set up and best practices to achieve best results.  I'm pretty excited to get it up and running.

Snackeyp, congrats we were one of the first dealers with a unit in the country so you must have gotten yours right after. There are a lot of people waiting for theirs. 

There are a couple of tricks first use a good ethernet cable the Wireworld Starlight is reasonably priced and sounds way better than a stock ethernet cable. 

Isoacoustics footers help a bit and are also inexpensive.

Of course a high quality USB cable again Wireworld Platinum is our cable of choice for the money. 

Last good power cords can take the unit up a notch. 

The new MK III is the best sounding server to hit the market for anywhere near its price, you have to spend stupid money to outperform the new MK III.

Gee Ron 17 great minds think alike!

We were suggesting the same thing. The Isoacoustic sound nearly as good as the Stillpoints for way less money, the new Critical Mass Sound Stage footers are in a different league.  Ron if you want to make a profound change in the sound of your system the Critcal Mass footers are more akin to a major component upgrade then any footer we have ever used 

We like the Wirworld Platinum ethernet cable as the best affordable  ethernet we have used. Our reference class ethernet the LH Labs $2k  cable which has a powered Femto clock in the cable is the best we have tested.

The new Audioquest power cords are really good not flexible, but great sound for the price.

Tweek away you are going to be in for a sweet ride.

Ron our suggestions were for the Op

I do think the Critical Mass Center Stage footers are even better then the Stillpoints. 
We used to sell StilpoInts and loved em the Critical Mass footers sound amazing and are doing things the Stillpoints dont do. 

You get a 3d effect with lower noise with the Critical mass. Both improved image float and dynamics.

In 30 years in audio never heard as dramatic a difference in a systems performance

Ron you missed the point.

We are all on a journey with perfecting our systems and as we stated we were Stillpoints dealers.

Your decision to recommend and use Stillpoints is up to you.

If we recommend that a person should check out these new footers is because in our opinion they are radically better then all other products that we have tested which include Hrs, Symposisum, Acoustic
Systems, Black Diamond, isoacoustics and Stillpoints.

Most dealers dont constantly test these kinds of products which is something we normally do.

We really like Stillpoints as well.

Ron it is not that we don't agree with your points but here is one of ours

Do you sell a  product, because you endorse it,  

or do you endorse a product because you sell it?

Ron the point that we keep on trying to hammer home is most dealers don't buy and try the level of different tweeks that we do, we do this because we have a $150k reference system that we are trying to make the best most realistic and magical experience possible hence we too are on a  continuos journey to improve this setup.
