Innuos Zen mk3 Music Server
The ZEN Mk3 Music Server Series continues our pursuit of bringing Digital Music to new heights. Learning from our experience and success of the ZENith MkII SE, including our collaboration with Dr. Sean Jacobs, the Mk3 family benefits from trickle-down technology.
We advanced our three key design areas: minimising power noise, reducing vibration and optimising firmware, resulting in the entire range benefiting from upgraded power supplies, new custom motherboards and new chassis. The ZEN and ZENith also receive upgraded anti-vibration with asymmetrical isolation feet, whilst the new Mini now also enjoys greater connectivity, and an optional Linear Power Supply upgrade.
ZEN available in black or silver
for music enthusiasts who want to enjoy their large music libraries with a dedicated server delivering Hi-fi quality, the ZEN Mk3 represents new value for money in digital audio performance. The new ZEN Mk3 now has:
· Dual Linear Power Supply – With ultra-low noise regulators and Nichicon Capacitors.
· Custom-made motherboard - With improved EMI treatment.
· Asymmetrical isolation feet - Derived from the successful design implementation on the ZENith SE.
The NEW Innuos ZEN Mk3 is the ideal digital storage device for good quality hi-fi separates systems and integrated, one box systems such as our Devialet, darTZeel, Technics systems
You can rip CDs in FLAC or WAV formats for optimum sound quality, and also play back AIFF, ALAC, AAC and MP3 files.

The ZEN Mk3 has one 2.0 USB for your audio, and one 3.0 USB connection, for external drives, as well as Dual Ethernet ports. The second ethernet connection allowing daisy chaining to Ethernet-connected DACs.
The custom 'innuOS' operating system includes software that makes it extremely easy to change or add metadata and artwork via any web browser on a desktop PC, or even a phone or tablet. Easy to use, versatile, and above all reliable.
The ZEN Mk3 is also Roon compatible, allowing it to function as part of a Roon ready system both as an endpoint, or as a Roon Core.
The ZEN Mk3 has a double linear power supply, with ultra low noise regulators and Nichicon capacitors.
The metal casework of the ZEN mk3 provides proper sound insulation for quiet operation, and much better heat dissipation than conventional plastic cased NAS drives.
