"The Sound Was Simply Right"
Looking for a tidy solution for all your CDs, and for the files laying around on the computer? Need an easy way to stream and listen to all your favorite music? The Innuos ZENmini Mk3 is the solution. It gives you a simple way to store, manage, and play whatever you want to hear - from CD ripping and purchased downloads to streaming services and internet radio.
ZENmini Mk3 is Innuos' gateway server with all the full benefits of innuOS, now with improved connectivity and an upgraded path for even greater flexibility. It's ideal for simple integration into multi-room systems or for anyone making the first step to a dedicated audio server.
The ZENmini Mk3 offers more than just casual usage. Floating optical and storage drives paired with a custom motherboard and premium components offer far greater musical performance than conventional computers and NAS drives. Onboard RAM of 4GB makes searching for music or copying files fast and easy. And you can order with 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB internal drive for plenty of onboard music storage.
"Balanced, Detailed, Not At All Lean"
"I was so surprised when I heard the first few notes of Loussier's piano coming through the speakers, and downright shocked when the rest of his trio entered. The sound was simply right," reports Mark Phillips, parttimeaudiophile.com, April 25, 2021.
"At the same time, I felt the sound of this album played through the Innuos server was balanced, detailed, and not at all lean—like the last few DACs that have spent time in the reference system. If the Innuos Zen Mini Mk. III was just a $2000 CD player, I'd say it was an excellent sounding CD player. So it's a very nice DAC."
Perfect CD Player Replacement
ZENmini Mk3 features optical and coaxial digital outputs as well has a high-resolution 24bit/192kHz Digital to Analog Converter (DAC). This means you can now connect directly to all your favorite devices such as soundbars, AV receivers, or integrated amplifiers the easy way.
Powerful Performer
Thanks to Innuos' own exclusive innuOS operating system, ZENmini Mk3 and other Innuos servers are configured and optimized from the ground up for the perfect balance of performance and simplicity. Control your library from the comfort of your tablet or smartphone - no computer required.
MQA Core Decoding
The ZENmini Mk3 supports MQA Core Software Decoding. This means you can playback MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording. MQA Core software decoding is provided free of charge and enables streaming and playback of MQA files up to 24bit/96 kHz for non-MQA DACs and up to 24bit/384 kHz for MQA Renderer/Decoder DACs. PULSE can also passthrough MQA files to MQA Full Decoder DACs.
(Please note that InnuOS Operating System 2.3 or higher is required for MQA Core Decoding.
