Innuos has taken advantage of the alignment of Axpona in Chicago, Shanghai International Audio & Video Show, and Kaohsiung Hi-End Audio Show this weekend to announce its Stream1 and Stream3 products.

The Stream Series replaces the ZEN Mk3 Series, which has ceased production but is still supported by Innuos technical service. The new series currently consists of two models, Stream1 and Stream3, and is touted as Innuos's "gateway to high-performance music streaming." As such, the new streaming servers pack "all the comprehensive features of the in-house Innuos Sense app matched with its synergistic electronics built with high-quality components."

Moreover, Innuos states that the Stream Series' modular design should provide a versatile home for all digital music that can grow and expand as needs evolve.

INNUOS STREAM1

Stream1 is the new half-width entry-level music streamer and server that "does not compromise functionality." It features a dedicated CX regulator for low-noise power for the dedicated output module, which the manufacturer says creates "a purer signal for better sound quality." However, you can upgrade with the new LPS1 as a "significantly improved" power source for better performance. The LPS1 is wrapped in a matching chassis to complement Stream1's aesthetics and described as "a perfectly matched linear power supply" with a 150VA toroidal transformer and premium Mundorf capacitors.
 
For output, you can use the built-in USB audio outputs or again choose to maximise performance with a dedicated output module, including standard DAC, performance DAC, PhoenixUSB, or SPDIF boards.

Adding M2 NMVe SSD storage creates a home for all your digital files. You can then benefit from library management features in the Sense app with the full scope of a music server. Choose from 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB of factory pre-fitted storage—or simply add your own instead.

INNUOS STREAM3

Stream3 is the new Innuos Stream Series golden child. This premium streamer and server comes in a 10mm thick CNC-machined aluminium chassis for shielding and vibration control. Further noise reduction is offered via a 4mm grounding port.

Meanwhile, power comes via an ARC6-CX active-rectification LPSU, a large bank of Mundorf capacitors, a large 300VA toroidal transformer and medical-grade AC filtering to further reduce noise. We're told that this high-end power architecture was designed in collaboration with Dr. Sean Jacobs.

Innuos suggests the optional new PhoenixDAC module for a high-end, dual-mono internal DAC with RCA and XLR outputs. It utilises OCXO and FEMTO clocks and is powered by an independent analogue regulation stage for best performance. Otherwise, you can use the built-in USB audio outputs or maximise performance with an alternative dedicated output module, including Standard DAC(PCM up to 24bit/192KHz), Performance DAC, PhoenixUSB, PhoenixI2S, or SPDIF boards.

Naturally, you also are offered the same storage options as you get with Stream1.

INNUOS SENSE 3.3 BETA

Complementing Stream1 and Stream3 is the Sense 3.3 beta version. This update promises enhanced functionality, improved performance, and a more intuitive user experience.

Sense 3.3 beta brings with it Spotify Connect support for streaming directly from the Spotify app to the Innuos system and 'SmartQ', which finds more music to keep the current vibe going once your playlist or play queue has finished. The update also enables you to stream directly from the Qobuz app through Qobuz Connect support (currently for Qobuz beta users only). Finally, a new Presets widget helps you quickly access favourite playlists, smart mixes and radio stations.

Amelia Santos, CEO of Innuos, told StereoNET:

We are thrilled to unveil the Stream1 and Stream3, along with Sense 3.3 beta version, at AXPONA, Shanghai, and Kaohsiung 2025. These products represent the culmination of years of R&D, embodying the brand's unwavering commitment to sound quality. These new products are poised to redefine the landscape of high-end digital audio, offering music lovers and audiophiles an unparalleled listening experience.

We are awaiting confirmed pricing for the new Innuos Stream1 and Stream3 streaming servers and their associated modular upgrades.
