FAQ’s

What is the difference between STREAM1 and STREAM3? The STREAM3 builds on the STREAM1 with a similar feature set but benefits from a superior power supply for a significant step up in sound quality and is still an improvement over the LPS1 also. It has a more substantial chassis for shielding and vibration control, and due to its larger size can accommodate a wider range of output modules including the PhoenixI2S board and the PhoenixDAC.
Are these streamers, or servers? Both – the modular nature of the internal storage, digital output modules or analog output modules allow many variations or combinations for the product to be a music server, a digital network player, or fully integrated streamer for direct connection to an amplifier. Tailor the system to what you want it to be.
How does ZEN Next-Gen series improve over STREAM series? ZEN Next-Gen and STREAM offer the same Sense app experience and overall features, but ZEN Next-Gen delivers superior sound with a more advanced power supply, PreciseAudio mainboard, and enhanced chassis. It also has more processing power to allow AudioCore technology and handles larger libraries with dual SSDs.
How does STREAM series differ from earlier Innuos products? STREAM series carries on the successful legacy of ZEN Mk3 music servers and PULSE network players and combines them into a versatile, single product thanks to its flexible modular design. With the latest generation in design and premium components, our gateway product range sounds and performs better than ever.
Can I still rip CDs? Yes! The powerful CD ripping engine is still available in Sense app, you simply need to add a USB optical drive of your choice and make sure there is internal storage fitted in your system. This will behave just as if it were an internal CD ripper from our earlier products with the same automated process, and choice of FLAC or WAV ripping.
Which output module is right for me? The best output module is the one that makes the most sense for your current system, and our modular design means that you can change your optimal output type in the future if your HiFi setup changes. We offer internal DAC modules for direct connection to amplifiers or powered speakers, and a variety of digital output modules to cater for what is best suited to your DAC.
What are the upgrade paths for the STREAM series? The STREAM1 can be improved with the dedicated LPS1, or moving up to the STREAM3 would be an even further step up in sound. From the STREAM3, the ZEN Next-Gen would be the next step up in the range. Both units can initially be used with the on-board USB audio output, then upgraded with a dedicated output module at a later date, and adding an audiophile-grade network switch such as the PhoenixNET will improve sound quality for all streamers.
