Innous zenith mk3 connection

Hi @drago,

I have changed my Innuos selection to what Petersfi suggested. Normally I have the Innuos connected to a Chord DAC by USB. But I have switched back to UPNP/DLNA bridge. One network difference between the setup you described and mine, I have the streamer ethernet port connected directly to the Innuos streamer port.

After that it got difficult to make the new setup work successfully. Firstly I needed to find the Lyrion Music server (LMS) on the URL http:/<my_innous_server>:9000. Then I had to locate server->settings->plugins in the LMS menus. That is not easy to explain because there are several different LMS user interfaces (I have Material Skin). Then I needed to install the UPNP/DLNA bridge. There are several defined setups, one of which is the Naim NDS and another is Naim NDS V2. There is also a Naim NDX setup. Differences?: I don’t know. I think it might come down to supported bit rates, sampling frequencies and formats (WAV/FLAC/DSD/etc). Finally I could set the bridge running. However, in amongst all this I had to restart LMS at virtually every change to see if it worked. It does physically send music to the Naim. Is it good? I will have to calm down and listen for a while now.

Any conclusions so far @malfordlad ? I find it a superb, trouble free set-up.

I have set up something wrongly because the sense app will play one track only and then it repeats the last ten seconds of that track over and over. To play an album I have to press next track at the end of each song. If I can get it right it will improve the functionality of my system giving me easy access to qobuz and internet radio (without the flaky vtuner).

I have connected my Zenith Mk III to my NSC 222, and previously NAC-N 272, using a Mk I Meridian Explorer’s optical output to effectively convert from USB to SPDIF optical.

I don’t really see a significant difference between this and UPNP from the server in either case.

Although no longer available, or supported, Explorer Mk I’s are available on the bay. Note the Mk II does not offer an optical output.

the issue is likely a box checked (or not) in the lms. An innuos tech would fix that quickly working remotely. Also need to be signed in to Qobuz via Sense but you have likely done so.

Are you using qobuz, have you added your username and password into the sense app?

Gary

Thanks for the suggestion, I am using qobuz and I have put my username and password into Sense. I think it must be something I have put into the LMS UPNP/DLNA bridge settings.

I had a similar issue but for me it was the fact I had not renewed my quobuz subscription causing the 10 second game and forward to next song….

Sorry can’t help beyond that suggestion.

Gary

Thanks Gary, I believe I have a current Qobuz subscription so will check the login process next. I have got a locally stored album to play through successfully with a reboot of the Zen. So progress is being made.

Just giving my Zenith Mk III a serious workout , transferring Barenboim’s Complete Wagner Operas freshly converted to FLAC from my Mac to the Auto Import folder, some 277 tracks.

Not helped initially by Amazon splitting them into three zips and giving them all the same name, shuffling the download order each time.

See posts of @Michaelb on that

You can ask also Nuno, from Innuos. I remember you can stream Qobuz…etc , using Innuos Sense, both Innuos and Nd555 connected by lan, and the streamer was still the Nd555.

I have contacted Innuos and have signed up for the beta of Sense 3.2. They are making an update for LAN attached Naim devices.

How did you go about doing that - signing up for the beta?

ATB, J

Join the Inuuos forum (I think I have seen your presence there), use the direct message button to send an email to Angelica with the title sign up for beta test.

Innuos released Sense 3.2.0 today. It is much easier to use the UPNP connection to a Naim streamer now.

And, as ever, a smooth, issue-free update taking just a few minutes. :grinning::+1:

Heared about it - is it better now?
Is the SQ affected?

Applied 3.2.0 to my Pulse last night, no change in sound quality why would there be, its not a Naim streamer :wink:
