Yes, but they are not very well reported in reviews (mostly off-the-shelf dac chips), I haven’t read anything that says something like “the buyer should really experience the Innuos in-house dac module” or similar. Or, Innuos’s line of inbuilt dacs are far better / or this holds its own against...

No/Yes. The optical device being talked about is a DVD/CD read/write device that is used to copy digital files from a CD to the internal storage of the unit. If you copy (RIP) the digital data without error from a CD and then play that copied file through the Stream and into a standalone DAC...

Innuos should stay with Steamers and Servers. It’s what they know. Building a DAC from scratch is throwing good money away, unless they bring in someone with great credentials.

Innuos could market something like the Matrix X-SPDIF 2 unit or Statement (original or NG) owners could purchase that. Statement NG is according to Innuos still above ZenithNG in the performance stakes, it’s just not as configurable. Perhaps a new version is in the pipeline? PS Audio...

I agree and have also previously asked for an explanation of how SmartQ algorithm chooses “similar” music, as like you have found the results to me are not necessarily similar at all. Not a criticism but I would like to know how to “steer” the algorithm, or for example how many tracks in a...

There is a thread here I started in 2024 Zenith mk3 plays music immediately at switch on? There is a default start up condition that can be altered in the LMS that you can change. The instructions from Stephen are about half way through the 1st page. My unit just started doing it for some...

Innuos have stopped producing the mk3 series, Zenmini, Zen, Zenith & LPSU are being replaced by Stream series. Tech support continues for Mk3 units.

Logging out and back in of Qobuz fixed within Sense fixed it , thank you Stephen. Can you give any insight as how the algorithm works in choosing the next 5 tracks? I’ve attached the initial playlist and expanded list …… quite a difference in genre and composition, but fun all the same.

Hi @Stephen Healy Tried SmartQ today , I set the bar to allow only new music, chose my playlist and let it run. At the end of the playlist SmartQ added the 5 tracks but they are only samples, so play 30sec and jump to next track. Is this by design or is there another setting that needs...

Just because some suggestion might be useful to a "handful of owners" does not mean it will work satisfactorily for the majority, which is why the people in the background at Innuos will sift through what can work and what might not. Isn’t this what the “wish list” / vote site is for? Ideas...

Innuos can already log in to your box online to QC, change settings etc. and push updates to you if required. The over-the-air updates to Sense ( and the Kernel) already happen - I am trying to understand what more are you thinking of? There is obviously a limit to how far the current...

Is this the replacement for the Statement ? Or do Innuos have another new model / lineup? Nazaré Statement NG Zenith NG / Zen NG Streamer 1 / 3 ……. All previous models?

In my experience the subjective performance of the PhoenixUSB Reclocker is dependent on the DAC it is connected to.

No, I don’t know sorry. I looked at the Innuos site and saw there are 3 screws on the back. There might be some underneath? It depends on how old is the unit/ is it under warranty etc? You appear to be in Glasgow so a trip for the unit back to Portugal shouldn’t take too long.

Can you take the case off and see if you can physically remove the cd from the drive?
