Our gateway server with all the full benefits of Sense, offering wide connectivity options and an upgrade path through the add-on LPSU for better sound quality. Ideal for simple integration into multi-room systems or for those taking the first step to a dedicated music server and streamer. Looking for a tidy solution for all your CDs and the files laying around on the computer? Need an easy way to stream and listen to all your favorite music? Now there’s a simple way to store, manage and play all of it: the ZENmini.
Convenient Design
With its compact footprint, low-power efficiency, quiet operation and range of connectivity, the ZENmini is a convenient and discreet music server for all your Digital Audio needs – from CD ripping and purchased downloads to streaming services and internet radio.
Hi-Fi Engineering
The ZENmini offers more than just casual usage. Floating optical and storage drives paired with a custom motherboard and premium components offer far greater musical performance than conventional computers and NAS drives.
Perfect CD Player Replacement
Featuring additional Optical and Coaxial digital outputs as well has a high-resolution 24bit/192kHz Digital to Analog Converter (DAC). This means you can now connect directly to all your favorite devices such as Soundbars, AV Receivers or Integrated Amplifiers the easy way.
Powerful Performer
Using our own exclusive innuOS operating system, our servers are configured and optimized from the ground up for the perfect balance of performance and simplicity. Control your library from the comfort of your tablet or smartphone – no computer required.
Superbly Solid State
The ZENmini S brings all the benefits of an SSD, including quieter operation and no moving parts to the venerable ZENmini mk3, whilst also increasing system RAM from 4GB to 8GB, achieving even greater performance from an already established, award-winning music server and streamer. The ZENmini S may be one of the best value HiFi sources available anywhere.
MQA Core Decoding
ZENmini supports MQA Core Software Decoding, which means you can playback MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording. MQA Core software decoding is provided free of charge and enables streaming and playback of MQA files up to 24bit/96 kHz for non-MQA DACs and up to 24bit/384 kHz for MQA Renderer/Decoder DACs. ZENmini can also passthrough MQA files to MQA Full Decoder DACs.
