In the run up to the new Innuos servers becoming available, I'm moving my current one on to upgrade to a higher model. It is in mint condition, hasn't skipped a beat since plugging it in, and comes complete with its original box and packaging. This one is the silver finish. It was purchased in August last year, so is warranted until August 2017.
The Innuos Zen Mini is a combined ripper and 1TB hard drive, which holds around 2,500 albums. Feed it your CD, and in about 4mins it will have ripped a like for like copy in FLAC (default - an MP3 copy can be made at the same time, if you wish), and obtained all track information, album artwork, and metadata. You are then free to stream from it to any streaming device in your home. Alternatively, you can plug it directly into a USB equipped DAC and control it via an app. Hi-res files can be drag and dropped to it via a PC.
As well as storing music to stream to other devices, it can also offer TIDAL, Spotify, Qobuz, Deezer (all paid subscriptions), and TuneIn radio. If you already hold an account for these streaming services, just log in.
A rear USB port can be used to back up contents, and another for feeding into a USB equipped DAC or amplifier (there's 6 USB connections in total). An analogue output (3.5mm Jack) can be used to feed it directly into any analogue inputs of any products (onboard 32bit/384kHz DAC). It supports gapless playback and DSD256. An optional linear power supply is available from Innuos.
So far I have used 37% of its available storage, and according to the statistics there is 828 albums on there. Some of the albums have been pretty tricky to track down, having to be ordered from overseas, sometimes costing me up to £40. I might forget to format it before sending...

This model can have its existing software upgraded to the new, upcoming software by Innuos for £65 - this includes them collecting from you, performing the upgrade, then shipping back to you. This would still make it about £200 cheaper than the new model coming out at £599 (the only difference would be the new look front panel). The new software allows editing via a tablet, rather than being limited to using a PC.
I'll post up a photo of it tomorrow night, when the light is good.
These current ones retail for £499, and I'm offering mine at £350 including shipping. I'm in no immediate rush to sell, as the new ones aren't available for another 3 weeks, but if it is needed quick (I can post out on Thursdays), it's no problem.
