Hi All,

Just looking for anyone who uses Innuos (I have the Zenith MK3) with the Warwick Aperio. Thoughts? Comments? Set Up?

There might not be that many users with this specific setup, but it should be fairly straight forward. Go USB out of the ZENith into the Apeiro. There are not many audio settings to change within the Innuos Sense app - have a test of setting USB latency to low, and just set the DSD behaviour to Native DSD. Then, just be patient; if the ZENith you are getting is brand new then it will take a good few weeks for the linear PSU section and Mundorf caps to really break in and sound its best.
 
Hi to all, Ok I just want to say this to anyone on the fence about SENSE and Innuos in general. Short version I am in the Hobby almost six decades. Bought,Sold,Traded quite bit from my first $129.00 stereo purchased at the local appliance store to later in life after getting to build a room for music. There are not as many truly "WOW" moments in the hobby as we may like to believe after spending serious $$$ on a component. However today I had a real WOW moment for only the 2nd time in the last couple of years. The first was when I received my Aperio the second was today when I received my Zenith MK3, set up sense and turned off Roon with the Nucleus one.( which I liked) I have a long way to go with getting into this set up but I can tell you right now THE SOUND IMPROVEMENT exceeded every expectation. I already know I will never go back to Roon. My job now is to get my PHD in Sense functionality because I'll never give up how much improved my entire library sounds whatever tracks I choose. Wow, I'm a happy camper. Thanks Stephen for your help and thanks Innuos ...and this is your midrange component......???

Thank you very much for your feedback, this is fantastic to see!
Happy to help with any Sense-related questions you have. Enjoy!
 
do you guys have an upgrade path for the next level product?
Hi,

The ZENith MK3 will remain available for the time being, with no direct replacement currently planned. However, we have recently launched our new Next Gen lineup, which includes the ZEN and ZENith Next Gen models. Although they share the same name, consider them a completely new modular platform, featuring optional output modules, user-expandable storage, and numerous performance enhancements.

ZENith Next Gen & ZEN Next Gen
 
Dan, I am trying to set up my backup ssd . I have a Samsung t7 2tb drive I erased on my Mac. When slotted into my MK3 the message I get is it does not see any disc?
Second . which is the best option- using the sense app on my IOS iPad or use my MBP safari web site for Innuos, any differences?
 
Dan, I figured the SSD back up out

Open question remains on the best user app IOS or MBP
No difference between control devices - these are just 'windows' on to the system to control them. They will have the exact same functionality and have no impact on sound.

You beat me to it as I was just going to reply to your message!
Another tip, I would not recommend leaving your USB drive connected to the ZENith as they're noisy and can be detrimental to performance as they're connected to the mainboard.
