Innuos Zen & Zenith Next Generation

Innuos have been refining their approach to music servers for over a decade, and the Next Generation Zen and Zenith models represent the clearest expression yet of what that means in practice. These are not incremental updates — the NG range introduces a reworked internal architecture focused on reducing noise at every stage of the signal path, from the power supply through to the output stage.

The ZEN Next Generation is the entry point into serious Innuos ownership. It combines a music server, ripper and streamer in a single chassis, running Innuos's own Sense app for library management and playback control. The result is a system that keeps your music in one place, under your control, without the compromises that come with cloud-dependent streaming alone.

The ZENith NG sits above it — built for listeners for whom the noise floor of the source component is the deciding factor. Where the ZEN is a genuinely capable all-in-one, the ZENith goes further with upgraded power supply filtering and output stage refinements that make a meaningful difference when the rest of the system is resolving enough to reveal them.

Martins Hi-Fi held the first UK Innuos Nazaré event, and we have lived with this brand long enough to advise with confidence on where each model fits and what it takes to get the best from it. Both the ZEN and ZENith NG are available to hear at our Norwich showroom. Dave, Chris and Tim can talk you through the range and help match the right model to your system.
