The new Zen MkII Series is the result of two years of intensive research and development. Innuos focused on taking digital sound quality to new heights whilst providing an intuitive user interface anyone can use, not just computer wizards. This can only be achieved through a unique combination of hardware and software working together as one. Where most music servers require a computer to manage the music library, Innuos are now taking the user experience to the next level to negate the need for a computer and, as a result, they have created their “innuOS” interface. The new OS enables server and ripper capabilities, including album cover and data editing to be fully managed and controlled by only using a smartphone or tablet.
Sound quality is only as good as its source, and as such the Music Server has a crucial role in the overall audible quality of any system. Innuos have taken a fresh approach in creating the new Zen MkII and Zenith models by adopting a design philosophy that focuses on producing the minimum amount of noise possible, instead of focusing on filtering noise afterwards. Nature provides us with a perfect example: A polluted water stream can be cleaned, but will never be as pure as if it was never polluted in the first place.

During ripping, innuOS automatically obtains album data, including artists, composers, track names and cover art from multiple online databases. A bit-perfect rip of your CD to FLAC with zero compression is saved in the server’s local storage.
Automatic Mode: for those who have more mainstream music collections. Insert the CD, wait 3-5 minutes and the CD will pop out.
Assisted Mode: for Classical and World music lovers. Confirm or edit album data and cover art before ripping each CD.
CD will rip without internet connection. When connected, data will be automatically obtained with a simple click.
Unidentified, duplicates, and albums ripped whilst offline are stored in the Quarantine area where you can listen to track samples and edit album data and cover art.

Pre-defined wizards for USB, Music Servers, NAS, and Computer imports allow you to import your existing music collection. Your library will be automatically organised by artist, album, and quality (compressed, CD-quality or Hi-Res).
Supported formats: FLAC, DSD, ALAC, WAV, MP3, M4A, AIFF.
Backup can be set-up to start automatically based on library growth (ie. every time 50 CDs are added). Information on last successful backup, as well as last backup status can be easily checked.
Each time new music is added, your library is automatically rescanned. Moreover, the integrated music player as well as connected systems such as Sonos or UPnP streamers will be updated.
No more figuring out IP addresses to access systems; just go to my.innuos.com on your tablet or smartphone to list all Innuos devices on the network.
