Innuos ZEN Mk3 Music Server

Description

ZEN Mk3

ZEN Mk3 contains a custom-made Innuos motherboard, completely reworked for optimised audio performance. Sources of electromagnetic radiation (EMI) have been removed and internal clocks optimised, resulting in a darker music background, for enhanced realism.

Dual-ethernet ports with isolation transformers provide 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 our award-winning ZENith SE plus added chassis treatment help to combat harmful vibration that affect a clean audio signal.

Now with twice the memory of the ZEN Mk2, the ZEN MK3 model has 8 GB RAM with 4 GB dedicated memory. Music is loaded directly to memory for playback so that it does not engage the hard drive, radically improving the sound quality.
