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.

I bought the MK III from the Audio Doctor to replace a Naim Unitiserve. Really liked the Naim but I love the MK III. I’ll let Dave deal with setup tweaks .  It’s very easy to setup.  The sound quality and Roon/Tidal functionality are great. You should be very happy with it. 
@audiotroy Thanks for the tips.  I have a good USB cable but hadn't considered needing a high end ethernet cable.  I just bought something from Best Buy.  I will look into the Wireworld one you mentioned.  

The unit was delayed one day in shipping so actually is arriving tomorrow.  I will report back as I learn more.  Thanks all.

@snackeyp  Congrats on your purchase!  I have the Zenith mk2 SE and use Roon with it.  It's so easy to set-up.  I will say that mine took a few steps up in SQ by using an aftermarket powercord, quality digital cables and isolation.  I use Nordost ethernet and USB cables and Stillpoints isolation....Keep us posted.
