1 NEW music server series ZenMk.II

2 Music Servers and Players For all kinds of Music Lovers ZEN Mk. II Our new Zen series is the result of 2 years intensive research and development. We ve focused on taking digital sound quality to new heights whilst providing an intuitive 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. Most music servers require a computer to manage the music library. We are now taking the user experience to the next level, and as a result innuos has been created. Our new OS enables the server and ripper capabilities, including album cover and data editing to be fully managed and controlled by only using a smartphone or a 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. We took a fresh approach in creating our new Zen 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.
