Inspired by the previous thread “Show Us What’s Inside”.
Here is a short picture story of my Innous ZEN Mini mk3 recent upgrade to “ S “ Specification.
(My thanks to Innous and their staff for providing images).
The upgrade to S specification involves several changes…
(1) Replace HDD for quiet, lighting quick equivalent size SSD. (In my case 1TB).
(2) Upgrade the RAM from 4GB to 8GB, for additional performance benefits when searching for music or copying files, etc..
It also has a power-loss protection circuit so if power is lost, you don’t lose the music.
Picture story follows…
Image (1) : Before the upgrade
The ZEN Mini mk3 external casing is open with all the original components still in place.
Image (2) : During the upgrade
The ZEN Mini mk3 after the HDD disk is removed and the new SSD (and support) to be installed.
The Teac disc drive, (seen in image 1) and other elements are then re-installed above, before the casing is re-fitted.
Innous customer services explained that our music archive was copied over from old HDD to new SDD and the unit was soak tested and checked prior to being released and returned back to us.
As I’m away from home right now, any comments or observations - on results - will have to wait.
Our thanks to Tony @BasicallySound for arranging everything.
