Innuous Zenith MK3


I’m shopping around for a server/streamer and became interested in the innuous MK3.

I noticed that the price of this was about $1600 less three years ago than it is today. Is it the exact same product that it was three years ago and has just gone up in price?  Is that in line with the price increases that other hi-fi equipment has seen?

It seems that the majority of owners love this device, but it seems pretty outdated with its pentium processor and inflated price. I like the idea of using Sense software and playing local files (DSD) without streaming.

I had one and liked it.  I use Roon and it wasn't as good with roon as it was with Sense.  I upgraded to a Grimm but nothing bad to say about the Innuos.  the zenith MK3 is a very handy disk ripper and thus you don't need a CD transport.  That was nice.

I currently have and love my Zenith MKIII.  I've upgraded many components around it but do not feel the need/desire to upgrade the Zenith.  That may be because I recently upgraded to a Meitner MA3 streamer DAC.

i mostly stream Qobuz through Roon and the CD's I ripped on the Zenith.  I am using the Zenith as a Roon core.  Very smooth, detailed and musical.  At this point I am finished but for the pending factory upgrade to the MA3 and my Audeze Crbn HdPhns, until the upgradeitis 'bug' hits me again.
