Having a great library of music is great until you are given the task of browsing / playing through it all with convenience AND quality. The innuOS-based Zen Mk3 Music Server is a thousand-disc CD changer, Spotify / Tidal / Qobu host, Sonos / Roon device and much more--yet thanks to its custom software and hardware design, it walks all over a general-purpose PC for ease-of-use and output quality.
With its integrated dual-linear power supply, isolated dual ethernet ports and asymmetric anti-vibration feet, the ZEN Mk3 represents new value for money in digital audio performance and will bring new balance to your home audio system.
