Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith

The problem might lie with your modem and any firewall it uses. I had the same problem with my Elac Discovery and the Roon Essentials app. Elac suggested a workaround which seems to work so far. You need a switch box and an Access Point. Using ethernet cable connect the Router to the switch box and then both your Server and Access Point to the switch box again with ethernet cable.

@jmphotography if you are using your Zenith Mk3 as your Roon core server, this will be pertinent: I am a former user and owner of an Innuos Zenith Mk3 and PhoenixUSB. During the winter 2020 pandemic as a DIY project and experiment and after I watched the John Darko YouTube video on how to build a NUC for your Roon core, I decided to build a miniPC to serve as a Roon Core server and see what happened and how it compares to the Zenith Mk3. I was using my Zenith Mk3 as my Roon core server. Roon remote was crashing all the time. I could not do any DSP in Roon without crashing. SQ when the thing was operating was good. I built an Azulle Inspire i5 mini pc (which is like an Intel NUC) and installed 32GB RAM and a 256 GB M.2 SSD. These are beyond the specs of the Zenith Mk3 and Roon’s specs. As a streamer I used a Sonore UltraRendu. The combination of the miniPC and the Sonore produced better SQ, more stable Roon Remote functionality with no crashing and no problems with DSP. I also used the miniPC with a Lumin U1 Mini. Same thing. The Azulle was fanless. So it made no noise. I Etherneted it into my SOtM switch in my listening room. I have since built and sold a few of these Azulle miniPC to colleagues on usaudiomart and they are beyond happy. I sold the one I made for myself and built an even better miniPC for myself. I built an Intel NUC10 (10th Gen) i7 with 32GB RAM and 256 GB M.2 SSD and placed it in an Akasa Turing fanless case. It is powered by an LPS though likely the LPS is not needed. Again I am using the LUMIN U1 Mini with the SBooster mod and using an SBooster LPS. The SQ is terrific. Roon Remote runs perfect. DSP is great. I sold my Zenith Mk3 and PhoenixUSB which saved me thousands. It is my belief based on my real world comparisons and experience per above that Innuos’s assertion that they use low spec components is a bunch of bull. They do it because it is cheap. This may also be why Roon doesn’t fully support Innuos. Innuos’ gear in my opinion is overhyped and not worth the money. Others here may disagree. But based on my actual experience, this is my conclusion. Do yourself a favor. Built a NUC Roon server. It’s easy. Use a separate streamer and try it out for yourself. If you like it, you just saved yourself thousands of $. If not, return all the components to Amazon. Easy. 

I can highly recommend the Antipodes range.
I have the entry level S30 which is USB out only and still very good.
The further up the range you go the more output choices you get.Roon etc is built in so it's all pretty much plug and play after you load your music
Their video  tutorials are great and the support service is second to none.Good luck with your search.

I researched Music servers for a year on Audiogon and What's Best Forum before deciding on one.  I ended up purchasing a Lucas Audio LDMS out of the UK.  Lucas is a computer genius and his customer service is literally 24/7.  My DAC is a Lampizator Pacific.  The LMDS just elevated my system by a large margin.  

Let me give you an example of his service.  I sent him an email at 6;30pm Arizona time.  I got an email back saying can we What's Ap. It had to be 3 am in the UK.  He spent the next hour going through my system to make sure everything was working as it was supposed to.  I felt bad and kept telling him it could wait until his morning.  In the end, there was nothing wrong with his server; it was my router. 

The LMDS provided me more clarity, soundstage, and detail that I never knew I was missing.  If nothing else, send Lucas an email or look up his website.  You will never get this kind of service from Innuous or Taiko.  In fact, I would love to see a shootout between Taiko and LDMS.  Music servers range from $5k to whatever you want to spend.  I have 8TB of music on my server in addition to Tidal and Qobuz in a Roon ready application.

Lumin X1 (has separate box for pwr stuff) streamer/dac plus roon nucleus.   Looking for a really good tube preamp.

then i done.
