Innuous Zenith Mk III Arrives Tomorrow

I've been streaming my digital library and Tidal/Roon through my Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 for the past couple of months via my NAS drive and I like the sound, but I've been dissatisfied with having to use my computer to control the server.  I decided to order a Zenith III because I want to install my Roon core on this unit and have a self contained music server.  I've heard so many great things from you folks on this board about the Innuous servers I decided to go for it.  

For those of you who already own one, let me know if you have any advice for initial set up and best practices to achieve best results.  I'm pretty excited to get it up and running.

Just remembered something my retailer told me. I use Roon and he said when I’m ripping or moving something from the quarantine area (such as duplicates) to disable Roon first, make the changes then enable Roon. If you were using Roon at the time (while streaming and ripping) that might be the reason your system crashed.

Ron our suggestions were for the Op

I do think the Critical Mass Center Stage footers are even better then the Stillpoints.

We used to sell StilpoInts and loved em the Critical Mass footers sound amazing and are doing things the Stillpoints dont do. 

You get a 3d effect with lower noise with the Critical mass. Both improved image float and dynamics.

In 30 years in audio never heard as dramatic a difference in a systems performance

Sorry I guess I misunderstood you when you stated

"Ron if you want to make a profound change in the sound of your system the Critcal Mass footers are more akin to a major component upgrade then any footer we have ever used"

It sure sounded like your suggestions were meant for me.  I think I'll stick to the Stillpoints and highly recommend the complete 'Ultra' line of isolation products to anyone looking to improve their already good sounding gear.  I'm not a retailer promoting my products on a public forum....just a satisfied consumer trying to relate my experiences.

Ron you missed the point.

We are all on a journey with perfecting our systems and as we stated we were Stillpoints dealers.

Your decision to recommend and use Stillpoints is up to you.

If we recommend that a person should check out these new footers is because in our opinion they are radically better then all other products that we have tested which include Hrs, Symposisum, Acoustic
Systems, Black Diamond, isoacoustics and Stillpoints.

Most dealers dont constantly test these kinds of products which is something we normally do.

We really like Stillpoints as well.
