Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith

I am looking to replace my Innuos Zenith mkIII. After the long anticipated wait of a few years for their own software and it is still a mess for iOS users I have decided its time to move on. What do you all suggest for something like the Zenith but hopefully a step up in sound quality? I still have a Roon license so I am OK with using a Roon based product.
Thank you

Just out of interest: what‘s the problem on IOS? I have been using mine without any issues.

@verdantaudio,

A Nucleus as an upgrade for a Zenith Mk3? Are you antepodean or why is your world completely upside down? The Nucleus isn’t even in the same SQ ballpark.

Innuos are quite clear that they use lower powered chips to achieve lesser noise interference and better sound quality. Obviously that will run counter Roon‘s processor-heavy design including DSP. The fact of the matter though is that Innuos Squeezebox implementation using IPeng or InnuOS 2.0 sounds better than Roon driven by their own Nucleus+  So those married to Roon have to account for the above.
