I used this until I bought a Zen Mini, it's basically the same as the old MK1 Innuos Zen but made by Vortexbox. (Innuos, previously known as Liv, used the same software in their boxes until they introduced the in-house designed Sense software.)
It is a 1TB music server (usable memory is lower) with LMS/Squeezelite as the player and can be controlled by the LMS webpage or an app like Squeezer that I use on my android phone.
It is digital only so needs an outboard dac or USB bridge. Being Linux based it doesn't need a driver and works with most DACs. It also needs to be connected to the network via an ethernet cable (no wifi) which is better quality anyway.
It has internet radio and Qobuz and BBC Sounds installed among other plugins, and of course plays music stored on the HDD. It has space for about 1500 Flac CD rips. I can delete the ones on there if the buyer wants.
The ripper works and finds album/track data but no longer adds album art. This can be added via windows explorer if required.
I particularly like the case with the heat sink fins, I think it visually matches most systems better than the Zen.
Because it's old tech I'm asking only £95 collected from N London for this. I can post at buyers cost and risk.
I can also add the regulated power supply I use for £30 (see last pic). I noticed an uplift in sound but as ever with these things YMMV.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250417/f43d83b1501b9e5e7de9b93325acc2ba.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250417/ec2a1883ad49ca8bd9938cd779f778af.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250417/731f24eb007b26b50084eeda4687100d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250417/3a110af046220505c9abeed35653da77.jpg
