Innuos Zen MKIII Audio Server 1TB HDD

The Innuos ZEN MKIII Audio Server, with a 1TB HDD, provides another leap in sound quality compared to the ZENmini. Thanks to its integrated dual-linear PSU, isolated dual Ethernet ports, and asymmetrical anti-vibration feet. The ZEN MKIII represents tremendous value in digital audio performance.

Controlled via the Innuos Sense App

Managing your music should never get in the way of enjoying it – it should enhance the experience. The Innuos Sense app is a powerful music management tool that works the way you do. It’s designed to help you manage, organise, and play your music, as well as navigate streaming services with ease.

Sense is available for free download and tightly integrates with high-end online music services and our in-house developed Innuos Operating System, delivering optimal music playback.

Dual-Linear Power Supply

The Innuos ZEN MKIII Audio Server 1TB ensures a cleaner digital signal by reducing power noise. Through a dual-linear power supply, designed by Dr. Sean Jacobs, featuring an ultra-low-noise regulator, Nichicon MUSE Capacitors. A medical-grade mains filter, and your music opens up to reveal new levels of realism.

Custom Motherboard

Our own custom-made Innuos motherboard is completely reworked for optimised audio performance. Sources of EMI have been removed. Internal clocks have been optimised. Resulting in outstanding sound reproduction and enhanced clarity.

Ultra-low Noise Streamer Output

Dual Ethernet ports with isolation transformers on the ZEN MKIII audio server provide an ultra-low-noise network connection for your streamer. Removing noise from the path and improving sound quality on all network audio.

Anti-vibration Treatment

New asymmetrical isolation feet, derived from our award-winning ZENith SE Plus. And added chassis treatment helps combat harmful vibration that affects a clean audio signal.

In-Memory Playback

Now with twice the memory of the Zen MKIII, 1TB features 8GB of RAM with 4GB of dedicated memory. So it doesn’t engage the hard drive, which improves sound quality.

ZEN MKIII supports MQA Core Software Decoding to playback MQA audio files, delivering the sound of the original master recording.
