Thank you, Tump. While I am enjoying the ZEN, which is an overall improvement over my CDP, those attributes that you ascribed to the ZENith, are pretty much the same areas where I feel that there is improvement to be had.

Hi Audioman. I'm happy with my Zen as well, although I can't help wondering if the ZENith wouldn't have been an even better option. I kind of wish I had auditioned them both.

I want to thank everyone again. At last, I’m choosing the ZEN. It might, very well, be a fact that I’ll never touch a CD again, but at least with a CD drawer, I can pretend that all these racks full of CDs have a purpose.

Between the ZEN and the ZENith, what I'm taking away from the Innuos website as well as other reviews, is that the ZENith is a little more refined and mellow than the ZEN. If that's fair, and my current system lacks neither, I'm leaning towards th...

Thank you, zlone. My main caution with Innuos is the quantity of posts with owners describing the number of ancillaries they added to attain optimal SQ. One poster added five elements, three of which I never heard of. If I was more technically cap...

Thank you, sls883 and audphile1. With my current system, the only thing I’m missing, that I’m aware of, is that level of detail and resolution that’s needed to suspend disbelief and allow total emersion into the music. I just want to avoid the pit...

Thank you. Have you ripped and then compared any CDs with Qobuz for sound quality?  
KIND OF BLUE
Just a heads-up - The Mobile Fidelity KOB SACD has been released. Was it worth the wait? Well, I don’t know... I pre-ordered it in 2011 and that’s a long time to me. Qualitywise and subjectively speaking, it might be a little on the polite side co...
