Tomic/Jim, in answer to your questions: I’m using an Aurilac Vega dac (the original version). It’s working well but I’m considering a newer model—Aqua, PS Audio and others. Compared to the Naim Unitiserve, the Innuous has a solid state hard drive (not a disc drive), it has accurate information when copying discs (the Naim often had inaccurate data and required manual entry to get it right), it’s compatible with Roon, and the sound is superior. Not sure I can put the superiority into words. It’s detailed, and lifelike on good recordings. The sound stage is wide for large scal music and focused with smaller scale work. (my KEF Reference 5 speakers contribute a lot to this). Hope that helps.
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.
