Upgrade


I am new to digital, being a vinyl enthusiast for many years,

so after a bit of research have decided on the Innuos Zen Mk 3 as my first entry into streaming.

My question is, at a later date is it possible to upgrade the device to the Zenith Mk 3 or would I have to trade it in to upgrade.

thanks in advance

I don't think Innuos offers any upgrade but if you're talking replace the disk drive with ssd, that might be something you could do.  but you may need some proprietary access to get it to recognize the new drive.

@saarnold, you mention streaming but the Zen is a streamer / server. Are you looking to rip and store music or just stream? If you are just looking to stream then the Pulsar line may be a better way to go. 

“My question is, at a later date is it possible to upgrade the device to the Zenith Mk 3 or would I have to trade it in to upgrade.”

As far as I know, Innuos don’t offer hardware upgrades to their customers. You would need to trade in Zen MK3 toward Zenith MK3 through your dealer. If your dealer don’t take trade-ins then you can always sell your Zen on USAM and buy Zenith MK3 used or new. 

I do feel Zen MK3 is a good start to get into streaming. What DAC you will be using with your Zen? 

You can’t upgrade your Zen to a Zenith, but you can add a Phoenix that could be a significant upgrade.  So there’s that.
