Having a great library of music is great until you are given the task of browsing / playing through it all with convenience AND quality. The innuOS-based Zen Mk3 Music Server is a thousand-disc CD changer, Spotify / Tidal / Qobu host, Sonos / Roon device and much more--yet thanks to its custom software and hardware design, it walks all over a general-purpose PC for ease-of-use and output quality.
The Zen's unique innuOS operating system was developed in-house and allows complete Music Library management from your tablet, smartphone, or computer. Ripping CDs, importing music, editing album data (including covers), playing, streaming and backing up your music library can all be performed from the comfort of your smart device.
innuOS also contains many intelligent features to help organise your Music Library, such as a rule-based music import engine and Assisted CD Ripping mode. innuOS can also run in Roon Core or Roon Bridge mode.
The ZEN ensures a cleaner digital signal by reducing power noise. Through a dual-linear power supply, designed by Dr. Sean Jacobs, with ultra-low noise regulator design, Nichicon MUSE Capacitors and a medical-grade mains filter, your music opens up and reveals new levels of realism.
Innuos' custom-made motherboard is built from the ground up for optimised audio performance. Sources of EMI are removed and internal clocks optimised, resulting in a "blacker" music background and enhanced realism.
The dual ethernet ports are equipped with isolation transformers, providing an ultra-low noise network connection for your streamer, removing noise from the path and improving sound quality on all network audio.
New asymmetrical isolation feet derived from Innuos' award-winning ZENith SE, plus added chassis treatment, together combat harmful vibration to preserve a clean audio signal.
The new Zen MK3 has 8GB RAM with 4GB memory dedicated to music playback. Music is loaded directly to memory for playback, decoupling the audio data from the hard drive for improved sound quality.
Using AccurateStream technology, extract every last bit of your CDs' quality audio into WAV or FLAC files.
Just pop in a CD! innu will automatically get full album data and cover from multiple online databases, rip your CD and eject when done.
Assisted CD Ripping allows you to see and edit all the album data and cover obtained from the online databases before you rip the CD. Great for Classical Music!
Love to listen to music whilst ripping your CDs and want absolute silence? Just engage Quiet Mode for slowing down ripping, making it much quieter and with less vibration.
CDs can be ripped without internet connection. When connected, album data and cover for all offline-ripped CDs will be obtained with a simple click.
Play all your music as well as Internet Radio and streaming services with the best sound quality by connecting directly to a DAC or Digital Amplifier via asynchronous USB.
*Spotify, Tidal and Qobuz require premium subscriptions
The innuOS Music Player plays FLAC, DSD, MQA, WAV, Apple Lossless, AIFF, M4A and MP3, supporting bitrates up to 32bit/384KHz and Native DSD, when connecting to compatible DACs.
Play music stored on an external NAS drive.
The innu Music Player can optionally become a Roon-Ready player so you can use the amazing Roon interface to explore your music like never before.
innu can automatically connect its music library to a Sonos system at the touch of a button as well as automatically rescan the Sonos Music Library when any album is added, modified or deleted from the Music Library.
Pre-defined wizards for importing music from USB storage, Music Servers and NAS.
innu takes all the hard work of importing music by intelligently analysing the music files and applying a number of rules such as:
Qobuz, Linn Records, HD Tracks, HiResAudio, B&W Society of Sound, iTunes, Amazon and more. Just download the music files (even if they are in a zip or tar file) to the Auto Import shared folder and the server will take care of adding and updating the music library.
