Innous 3 stack flagship Nazare (flow + net + server)

[GSOphile]

Hah! I like this - 72K Euros for a computer in a three piece suit. Falling in love all over again with my lowly Aurender N20!

These prices quoted are higher than what I was told by Innuos staff. I’ll be keeping an eye on that. Regardless, if the competition proves to be Taiko and Pink Faun, they are in the neighborhood.
I am ready to upgrade my Starement NextGen and am sizing my rack now to accomodate Nazare.
Looking forward to listening reports when development is totally completed.
Innuos knows what the competition is doing and what level needs to be reached. They are a talented group capable of reaching this objective.

The quoted prices I received directly from Innuos staff in Munich.
Nazare sounded quite good in Munich but it will be interesting to compare to an upcoming Taiko Extreme with XDMI analog output for example.
I am curious if Innuos will offer a DAC board for the Nazare

Much as I admire the effort that’s going into these statement pieces from Innuos, Taiko and others, what has impressed me more is the beautifully designed Eversolo server/DAC’s that give you amazing bang for the buck. For someone like me, who runs 5-6 systems of various complexity in my house, the traditional megabuck servers are just not practical. But Eversolo is just right. For one, it’s a server/DAC that works independent of Roon, but also compatible with it.

I ended up buying four (!) of the Eversolo systems of different types. These are a piece of cake to set up and they work absolutely reliably. The software appears bullet proof, which is more than I can say after 5-6 years of Roon. I’m happy to sit on the sidelines and wait for the streaming/server market to mature further. It will take another few years or more. In the interim, my Lampi server works great with my Lampi Pacific in my main system and the various Eversolo’s I have are stashed in smaller rooms. They’re light and don’t run hot. Slip in a 4 TB NVME drive into an Eversolo and you can have a very large personal library of music independent of WiFi idiosyncrasies. That’s what I do with mine.
