Zen mini mark III with lps or zen mark III


Looking to upgrade from bluesound vault 2 to something better. Trying out a Node 2021 at the moment but the difference is not huge. The Node goes USB into an Aesthetix Romulus and the Vault goes in over coax. Interestingly, while the Node is the source I can play file from the Vault hard drive. Would like to know if spending a multiple of the cost of the Node to get into a zen is going to be really noticeable. Thanks

I own both the Zen Mini 3 with LPS and the Zen Mk3.

I think either will be a considerable improvement over the Bluesound.

Aurrender is also a good choice, but you are limited to Qobuz and Tidal.

I like the Innuos due to it integrating with Roon, which I find to be worth the money.

Take a look at the Aurilac Aries G1. One of my audio friends believes it to be a great deal for the money.

Ahh, you are working with Johnny. He knows his stuff and will be a better guide than most of us.

I believe he is selling Aurilac, so you'd be able to demo it, too.

Tell him I said, Hi.
