I have the Zen MK III and love it.
I use the AudioQuest Diamond and the $400 GR-Research power cable. It's phenomenal for the price and you can return it if you don't like it.

I just received from the cable company library system Shunyata Research Digital V14 Venom powercord Synergistic Research 12 AWG Foundation powercord
Since the Zen has not arrived yet, I’ll be testing these on my DAC,, I’ll note some impressions after a couple of dsys.. @chorus - thanks you for the kind words. What Streamer are you considering at the 8k mark? @antigrunge2 the Nordost Brahma locks quite impressive. I saw one used for around 500.00 At this point of time the Shunyata is within the chain. After an hour it reached room temperature. Opened up a little bit.. though it’s beyond dark. Very recessed as I had suspected. Though I’ll give it 24 hours with reference tracks. I’ll try best to keep an open mind...

I am getting a Zenith MK3 next week. This is my second foray with Innuos. I did it again this time intrigued by the new Sense app, and the reported improvements it brings to the SQ vs. Roon. Will see.
I plan to use a Zavfino Prima MK2 power cord for it, and Zavfino Majestic USB cable. Already at hand. My Ethernet switch is Ediscreation Silent Extreme |
@thyname - interesting cables. Thank you for the mention. What was your prior innuos? After 3 hours of respected recordings, and poor recordings as used for reference. The shunyata was pulled... it might be great for a sprout... Though it does not bring any improved dynamics in my apartment. I know all settles within 24 hours though the veiled highs were frustrating I wanted to turn off the system. Switched the Synergistic Research 12 AWG Foundation power cord. Immediate difference. The cables are broken in already. I don't think I would have heard much difference within the next 20 hours...
Back to the main topic at hand. My router is about a good 17 feet from my system. I could build a mesh network. Though I don't like repeaters near my living room nor bedroom for a multitude of reasons. I'll have to neatly run the cat 6E in the kitchen through the wall into my living room. What we do for the pursuit,,,,,, I guess it was more feasible to attain the Zenith then to add the Phoenix? J |
