Innuos ZENith NG Music Server
PreciseAudio
Achieving a clean digital signal requires a dedicated source built with meticulous attention to detail. The ZENith Next-Gen leverages ultra-low noise power supplies, a custom mainboard, and specially developed software to minimise power noise during operation. Its innovative components, including the ARC6 NGaN Power Supply and PreciseAudio mainboard, ensure optimal current delivery and low impedance, preserving the quality of transient sounds.
A Pristine Source
Digital sources have become a staple in Hi-Fi systems for their convenience, making almost all music accessible with ease. However, the quality of the digital signal is crucial in delivering the true essence of a recording. A noisy signal will only be amplified through the system, affecting sound quality. For the best performance, a digital signal must be pristine and well-timed, ensuring your DAC operates at its peak.
Core i7 Processor Reponsiveness
The ZENith Next-Gen stands apart from its predecessor with a powerful Core i7 Embedded processor featuring eight performance cores. This allows for further core separation for AudioCore technology, improving the overall responsiveness of the system while maintaining superior audio performance. Additionally, its industrial-grade pSLC SSD reduces EMI, significantly lowering operating noise, which has a direct impact on sound quality.
Innuos Sense App
The Innuos Sense App offers a powerful and intuitive way to manage your music library, combining streaming services, internet radio, and local files. Available on iOS, Android, Amazon Fire, and web browsers, the Sense App enables easy navigation of your music collection, whether you're ripping CDs, creating playlists, or exploring related artists. It provides a seamless experience, allowing you to focus on what matters most—enjoying your music.
