Innuos Stream3 Music Streamer & Server

Product Overview

The Innuos Stream3 represents the pinnacle of Innuos’ streaming and server technology, designed for listeners seeking true reference-grade performance. Whether paired with a high-end DAC or used as a complete standalone solution, it serves as a powerful foundation for uncompromised high-fidelity playback.

Engineered to deliver an ultra-clean, precisely timed digital signal, the Stream3 allows connected DACs to perform at their full potential—unveiling every layer of detail, texture, and emotion in the music. It also functions as a capable server when equipped with optional storage and supports CD ripping via an external USB optical drive, making it an exceptionally flexible centerpiece for any serious music system.

Built around state-of-the-art clocking and an ultra-low-noise power architecture, the Stream3 is housed in a 10mm CNC-machined, bead-blasted, and anodized aluminum chassis for optimal rigidity and isolation. The in-house-developed software platform ensures smooth operation, precise timing, and effortless control of large music libraries.

With its modular architecture, the Stream3 adapts to the most demanding system configurations. Users can select from a range of Digital Output Modules to tailor performance to their setup—each designed to optimize signal purity and enhance system synergy.

More than a music streamer, the Innuos Stream3 stands as a reference-level digital source, combining precision engineering, elegant design, and audiophile refinement to bring every performance vividly to life.

Main Features

• ARC6-CX Power Architecture: Experience the impact of true high-end power design with the integrated ARC6-CX LPSU module, developed in collaboration with Dr. Sean Jacobs. This advanced design combines 132,000 µF of Mundorf capacitance, active rectification, and CX power regulation on a single module, minimizing impedance and delivering ultra-clean power to the system. A large 300 VA toroidal transformer and medical-grade AC filtering further reduce electrical noise for a quieter, more stable performance.
• Premium Chassis Construction: The Stream3 is housed in a 10 mm-thick CNC-machined aluminum chassis that provides exceptional rigidity, vibration damping, and shielding. A 4 mm grounding port offers additional options for noise reduction, revealing greater micro-detail and clarity from your system.
• Optional PhoenixDAC Module: For those seeking a fully integrated, high-end solution, the optional PhoenixDAC module transforms the Stream3 into a complete streamer-DAC. This upgrade adds balanced XLR and RCA analogue outputs powered by an independent, dedicated power supply, co-designed with Dr. Sean Jacobs to deliver exceptional conversion accuracy and musicality.
• Expandable Storage Options: Add internal M.2 NVMe SSD storage to store your digital music collection directly within the unit. Choose from 2 TB, 4 TB, or 8 TB factory-installed drives, or install your own. Integrated library management features through the Innuos Sense app offer powerful control and organization of your music server.
• High-Performance Platform: Powered by a 13th-generation Intel Quad-Core processor and 8 GB of industrial-grade DDR5 RAM, the Stream3 provides a smooth, fast, and efficient experience—over 200% faster than its predecessor. The operating system runs on a dedicated TLC power-loss-protected SSD with real-time kernel technology derived from the ZEN Next-Gen series, ensuring ultra-low latency and precise timing.
• Advanced Connectivity: Equipped for modern systems, the Stream3 includes USB-C connectivity for high-speed drives, DACs, and smart device charging. Music lovers can easily rip CDs to internal storage using an external USB optical drive and the streamlined, intuitive ripping engine. Networking is equally advanced, with dual 2.5 Gb Ethernet ports, including a bridged “Streamer” output for connecting additional networked devices.
