Innuos ZENith Next-Gen Full Stack at Audio Video Show Warsaw 2026

Innuos is showing its Innuos ZENith Next-Gen Full Stack at Audio Video Show Warsaw 2026, taking centre stage in SkyBox 229 at PGE Narodowy from 23 to 25 October. The system brings together three components into a single, cohesive digital front end: the ZENith Next-Gen Music Streamer & Server, the Next-Gen NET audiophile network switch and the Next-Gen FLOW modular reclocker and converter.

What the Innuos ZENith Next-Gen Full Stack brings together

The Innuos ZENith Next-Gen Full Stack is Innuos’ most complete digital source system to date, built specifically to showcase how the three units complement each other rather than being sold or demonstrated as standalone boxes.

At the centre of the system sits the ZENith Next-Gen, fitted here with a PhoenixUSB board for streaming, local playback and library management through Innuos’ Sense platform. It pairs Innuos’ ARC6 NGaN power supply, a custom PreciseAudio mainboard and an 8-core Intel processor dedicated in part to the brand’s AudioCore audio-processing architecture.

The Next-Gen NET sits above it, built around Innuos’ WaveNET platform and the same Next-Gen power architecture, aimed at cleaning up network-borne noise before it reaches the rest of the chain. The Next-Gen FLOW completes the stack, using elements of the power and signal-purification architecture developed for Innuos’ flagship Nazaré series, and supporting dedicated DAC connection modules including MSB ProISL, CH-Link, EMM Optilink and I2S.

A first look at the PhoenixDAC prototype

Both the Next-Gen NET and Next-Gen FLOW are already shipping and available at dealers, but the unit on show in Warsaw is fitted with a prototype of Innuos’ upcoming PhoenixDAC board, giving visitors an early chance to hear where the modular FLOW platform is headed next. It is not yet a shipping product, so final specifications and availability are still to be confirmed.

Software is part of the story too: the stack is running Sense 26, Innuos’ latest control software, which recently added a dedicated Classical Experience browsing mode and AirPlay 2 integration for streaming from compatible Apple devices.

In Warsaw, the Innuos ZENith Next-Gen Full Stack is being demonstrated alongside Avantgarde Duo GT loudspeakers, a Siltech Octopus G9 power distributor and cabling, IsoAcoustics isolation and Artnovion room treatment, giving visitors a sense of how the stack performs in a complete, resolved system rather than in isolation.

Pricing and availability

Two of the three components in the Innuos ZENith Next-Gen Full Stack are current, shipping products available through Innuos dealers; only the PhoenixDAC module shown at Warsaw remains a prototype without a confirmed price or release date. Full specifications and pricing are listed on Innuos’ own website. Visitors to Audio Video Show Warsaw 2026 can hear the full stack in SkyBox 229 at PGE Narodowy through 25 October, with Innuos product specialists Niall Hunt and Stephen Healy on hand for demonstrations.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
