Innuos Zenith Next-Gen music server and streamer demonstration
Innuos is returning to the Audio Video Show in Warsaw this weekend, showcasing a vast range of innovative products in Sky Box S 229 of the National Stadium Al. Ks. J. Poniatowskiego 1. Visitors to the brand’s booth in Warsaw will have the exclusive opportunity to experience music through high-fidelity digital audio solutions. Innuos will provide demos using their new Zenith Next-Gen and their flagship Statement Next-Gen music servers and streamers, the network switch PhoenixNET and the feature-packed Sense 3 app, the exclusive software developed in-house by Innuos.
Feel the presence
Zenith Next-Gen is a high-end music server and streamer that results from more than three years of in-house research and development. This product takes Innuos ZEN Series to the next level:
Elevates audio and processing performance with the new NGaN-regulated ARC6 PSU with active rectification and over 130000uF of Mundorf capacitors resulting in more realism
An all-new custom server-grade Innuos Preciseaudio mainboard for lower processor latency, power noise, and EMI emissions
Innuos Audiocore is based on a new generation of i7 processor with 8 physical cores supported with 16GB of low-noise industrial-grade DDR4 RAM for speedy response
Includes pSLC SSD for Sense 3 and benefits from unique features of the latest Innuos software update Premium 10mm CNC-machined aluminium chassis
A new modular approach for storage and audio connectivity options creates a hugely versatile device – audiophiles are free to choose the combination that best suits their needs. It can be used just as a streamer with no onboard storage at all or have up to 16TB for local file libraries, which are partially upgradable by customers in a seamless way.
Music lovers can choose from several modular output boards the one that optimizes their system performance: PhoenixUSB Lite board, AES/Coaxial/Optical SPDIF, and PhoenixI2S Lite board coming soon.
Sense 3… and counting
The product benefits from unique Sense 3 features including a custom Real-time OS Kernel for ultra-low latency and AudioCore technology to ensure audiorelated processes are run in dedicated cores without interruptions.
Sense 3 was released together with the Zen Next-Gen and Zenith Next-Gen music servers and streamers and is available as a software update to all Zen Mk3 Series, Pulse series and Statement.
Innuos will continue to develop its software, providing access to even more features for their existing users. Until the end of the year, new versions of the software and App, currently undergoing beta testing, are expected to be released.
A flagship
The Statement Next-Gen remains Innuos flagship music server and streamer as the sheer number of independent power supplies (8 to be specific) provides much better separation and prevents component cross-contamination.
The Zenith Next-Gen is much more compact and does not reach the same level of separation and vibration management the Statement Next-Gen provides. Sound character between the two systems can be quite different. But there’s nothing like people listening for themselves and deciding according to their present audiophiles’ needs what’s the best solution for them.
Exclusive experience @ Sky Box S 229 High-End System: The demonstration system in Sky Box 229 will have a PhoenixNET pairing with a Statement Next-Gen and a Zenith Next-Gen, which visitors will be able to compare, via A/B demos. An Accuphase DC-950 DAC paired with an Accuphase C-3850 preamplifier and A-80 power amplifier will drive a pair of Rockport Avior II speakers. Transparent Audio will provide power conditioning and cables with their PowerWave X and Reference series cables – all hosted inside a Artesania AudioVideo 3 Level Audio Rack.
