Zenith Next Gen

About the Zenith Next Gen

The Innuos ZENith Next-Gen builds on the ZEN series foundation with significant hardware and power delivery upgrades to extract every nuance from your music library. It features the ARC6 NGaN Power Supply with active rectification, a 300VA audio-grade transformer, and over 130,000uF of Mundorf capacitors for superior transient response and sound transparency. Powered by an embedded Intel Core i7 processor with 8 physical cores dedicated to audio processing via AudioCore technology, it ensures ultra-low latency and high responsiveness. The system includes 16GB of industrial-grade low-noise DDR4 RAM and a dedicated industrial-grade pSLC SSD for the operating system to minimize EMI and operating noise. Its modular architecture allows configuration as a music server/streamer, server-only, or streamer-only, with up to 16TB of SSD storage and optional audio output modules such as PhoenixUSB, PhoenixI2S, or SPDIF boards. The chassis is a 10mm thick CNC-machined, bead-blasted, and anodized aluminum enclosure with a vibration-dampened toroidal platform and chassis ground connection for EMI reduction. The device runs on Sense 3, a custom real-time OS kernel with ultra-low latency and enhanced audio process management.
