Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?

Hello There,

Hoping to tap into the collective insight of this group. I am planning to buy a music server+streamer combo and am thinking of the Innuous Zenith Mk3. And have some questions before i pull the trigger:


1. Any rumors/insights of a new version of the Zenith Mk3 launching soon? (hate to buy into this and have a new version pop up in short order. I think the Mk3 has been around for over 2 years now and so I thought i would check in with this group)


2. Any other music server/streamer combo I should consider at this price point? (the Zenith Mk3 retail is ~$4700)


My budget is to keep it under $5K. Thank you!

+1 on Auralic Aries G2/G2.1 sounding better than the Innous Zenith MK3

I’m not one of AudioTroys customers I live in another country, each to our own , I had owed a Innuos Zenith MK 3 and loved it for a while then I listened to the 432 Evo Aeon server . The dealer lent me to directly compare to my Zenith. One of the very first things I noticed was the Aeon was much quieter then the Zenith resulting in a lower noise floor which anyone here knows what that results to for your listening pleasures .

After over a year owning the Evo Aeon I have upgraded to a used Innuos Statement server , I have never fallen in love with stereo components nor have I married any of them so I would rarely ever get offended like some do on these forums.

Would be interested in your view @in_shore as regards the Zenith 3 with 2/Sense. I’m on 2.08 now and the noise floor keeps dropping and is now measurably ahead of the Evo. That said, if you’ve a Statement, you’re not really going to care :)
