Innuos Zenith MK3

I would advise to go to innuos.com and read the info on updates, and ask Innuos for your situation. I would expect you would need to update to 1.4.9, and rescan your library to avoid any problems with the 2.0 update.I have had problems with some updates on my MK ii servers, but Innuos has been able to remedy them with a remote login. There are reports on line that the 2.0 update sounds better than Roon, and has a customer friendly interface at zero cost, unless you have a lifetime Roon subscription.

Thanks.  My plan is to update my current 1.4.7 to 1.4.9 and then to 2.0—when 2.0,becomes available for my Zenith 3 (which it doesn’t seem to be right now).  I am a lifetime Roon subscriber and I’m a little anxious about the possibility of losing my 12,000 albums when upgrading to a new system or about not liking the new system but being unable to revert back to Roon after upgrading.  One advantage of not having the 2.0 upgrade available yet us that I can learn from the experience of others while waiting.

I’m looking to purchase a Zen Mini Mk3. I was wondering what you guys thought of the Innous products? Seems like a better way to go for a Roon core than what Roon is putting out with their servers. 

Love my Zenith MK3. Had a skipping issue but, a trip to the Spectrum store to trade out a 20 yr old combo modem/router for an upgraded segregated pair fixed the problem. Haven’t had an issue with the streamer at all. Rips CDs and catalogs library perfectly. I do have an outstanding DAC and they do make a difference because I’ve tried others. I heard that the Mini has a pretty good built in DAC and that you can by-pass it to an exterior upgrade DAC if you choose to. Now I’m trying to put together a turntable set that will sound as good as the digital! I know most folks these days are doing the opposite. These streamers are that good, at least to my ear.

The 2.0 upgrade for mk iii Zen and above seems to be available now, but probably will not show for you on my.innuos.com until you do the 1.4.9 update. Note you will also have to install Innuos Sense on your phone to control playback when you do the update, as the squeeze based apps will no longer work.Be sure to rescan your library and back up before you do any updates.
