Easy Way to Stream and Listen to Music - Updated and Upgraded
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? Now there's a simple way to store, manage and play all of it: the Innuos ZENmini Mk3 S.
With its compact footprint, low-power efficiency, quiet operation, and range of connectivity, the ZENmini Mk3 S is a convenient and discreet music server for all your Digital Audio needs - from CD ripping and purchased downloads to streaming services and internet radio.
ZENmini Mk3 S 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 those making the first step to a dedicated audio server.
Improved and Upgraded
Innuos loves to listen. The company listens to music and it listens to you. Innuos heard that the ZENmini Mk3 could be improved if it had an SSD option so the resulting new ZENmini Mk3 S takes one of its most popular music servers and replaces the hard drive with a quiet, lightning-quick Solid-State Drive (SSD). Order with 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB internal SSD drive for oodles of onboard music storage.
ZENmini Mk 3 S upgrades the RAM from 4GB (for the ZENmin Mk3) to 8GB for additional performance benefits when searching for music or copying files. It even has a power-loss protection circuit so that if you lose your power, you don't lose your music.
"The Quietest and Fastest ZENmini Available"
"The option of an SSD makes the ZENmini S the quietest and fastest ZENmini available. The ZENmini S is fully compatible with the optional Linear Power Supply Upgrade (LPSU) that remains a very popular option for the existing unit," reports Ian White, ecoustics.com, September 13, 2022.
"The upgrade is actually worth the money. It was my experience that the streamer combined with the LPSU was more responsive from an operational perspective, faster when it came to searches (which still doesn't make sense to me), and a better sounding player."
Hi-Fi Engineering
The ZENmini Mk3 S 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.
Perfect CD Player Replacement
ZENmini Mk3 S 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 S 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.
Superbly Solid State
The ZENmini Mk3 S brings all the benefits of an SSD to streaming, including quieter operation and no moving parts to the venerable ZENmini Mk3, while also increasing system RAM from 4GB to 8GB. This achieves even greater performance than what was possible previously from an already established, award-winning music server and streamer. The ZENmini Mk3 S may be one of the best values in HiFi sources available anywhere.
MQA Core Decoding
The ZENmini Mk3 S 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. It 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.
The Innuos Sense App Provides Easy Control
Managing your music should never get in the way of listening to your music. It should complement the experience. The Innuos Sense app is a powerful music management tool that works the way you do. It is made to help you manage, organize, and play your music and navigate streaming services with ease.
The Sense app is available as a free download and tightly integrates with high-end online music services and the innuOS Operating System to deliver optimal music playback with a multitude of features. These include seamless and automatic ripping of CDs on Innuos music servers, Qobuz and TIDAL integration including Artist Bios, Related Artists, Top Tracks, and more, and management of Qobuz and TIDAL albums together with albums stored on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) for a unified Music Library.
