Big news for music lovers and audiophiles—Innuos has just launched Sense 3.3, the latest update to their acclaimed music management and streaming platform. The headline feature? Full support for Qobuz Connect, opening the doors to seamless high-resolution streaming, enhanced artist discovery, and rich metadata integration. This is a major step forward in the integration of premium streaming with audiophile-grade music servers and streamers.
What is Innuos Sense 3.3?
Innuos has built a strong reputation in the Hi-Fi world for its high-performance music servers like the ZEN NG, ZENITH NG, and Nazare, as well as its intuitive software platform, Sense. Designed for audiophiles, Innuos Sense offers a clean, fast, and friction free way to browse, manage, and play digital music libraries—whether stored locally or streamed from high-resolution streaming services.
Sense is also the brain behind the new Innuos Stream Series of dedicated network streamers, making it a central component across the entire Innuos ecosystem. From flagship servers to streamlined streaming players, Sense 3.3 provides a consistent, audiophile-grade experience.
Now, with version 3.3, Innuos users can enjoy Qobuz Connect, bringing native streaming functionality into the heart of the platform—whether you’re using a ZEN NG or one of the Stream Series players.
What is Qobuz Connect?
Qobuz is one of the leading high-resolution streaming platforms and our personal favorite, known for offering studio-quality audio (up to 24-bit/192kHz) and a wide catalog of editorial content, including in-depth artist bios, album reviews, liner notes, and curated playlists.
Qobuz Connect is Qobuz’s native streaming protocol—similar to Spotify Connect—that allows you to stream directly from the Qobuz app to supported devices, without compromising on sound quality or app features.
With Innuos Sense 3.3, you can now stream directly from the Qobuz app to your Innuos music server or streamer using Qobuz Connect, or control everything natively through the Sense app. Either way, you get bit-perfect playback, high-resolution audio, and access to Qobuz’s deep metadata.
Why This Matters: Better Sound, Better Experience
For Hi-Fi and AV integrators, this is more than just another software update. The integration of Qobuz Connect into Sense 3.3 marks a turning point for digital audio:
- Audiophile Sound Quality: Qobuz delivers lossless FLAC files at resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz, which pair beautifully with Innuos’s high-end digital transports and servers like the ZEN NG, ZENITH NG, Nazare, and the new Stream Series.
- Rich Metadata: With Sense 3.3, the metadata from Qobuz is fully integrated—so you can read about artists, explore album credits, and discover related content directly within the Sense app.
- User Convenience: Whether your customers prefer using the Sense app or the native Qobuz app, both paths are now possible—with a seamless handoff between them.
- Improved Discovery: More than just a streamer, Innuos Sense becomes a powerful music discovery tool, enhanced by Qobuz’s editorial expertise.
A Short History of Qobuz and Innuos
Founded in France in 2007, Qobuz has steadily earned the respect of audiophiles worldwide thanks to its uncompromising commitment to sound quality and music journalism. Unlike other streaming services that compress audio for bandwidth, Qobuz prides itself on CD and studio-quality sound—ideal for high-end Hi-Fi systems.
Innuos, founded in 2009 in the UK, has similarly championed uncompromising digital audio. Their mission has always been to make audiophile-quality streaming intuitive and accessible, combining excellent hardware with smart software like Sense. With each update, they’ve pushed boundaries—and Sense 3.3 is no exception.
