Nazaré - The New Flagship from Innuos.

Welcome to the Algarve!

We have just spent 5 fabulous days in the home town of Innuos, sun, beaches, food and the powerful Nazaré, the new new flagship model server/streamer and dare i say it, the high end answer for many seeking absolute perfection and makes perfect sense for those wanting the best.

Named after the Portuguese submarine canyon, creator of some the the largest waves in the world, the Nazaré was presented to us as a creation that would deliver unparalled sonic realism and clarity. It would bring with it the visceral energy and emotional depth of live music with unparlleed sonic transparency. Faster but smoother, this product was promised to be a technical marvel and it is all that.

For a team that does not hold back in seeking perfection, they nailed it.

The Statement Next Gen i know very well and is part of a many high end rigs so it was great to have a live A/B session to hear, the next phase of digital development that had no creative boundaries.

For the secret special launch, we were part of a small group of distributors and press who were tight lipped on this event until they were released to spread the word.

We could send you images and details but maybe we can simply send you to our new friend Chris Connaker from Audiophile Style who many will know as the man from Computer Audiophile. What a great time we had getting to know a guy who was my "go to" for years and years,, anyway he has written an excellent report, please see here as our time with Amelia and Nuno and the large Innuos Team had both Sarah and I completely immersed in a most powerful sound and unforgettable life experiences. Thank you and Congratulations!

For the record, I could gauge the difference in the A/B process and it was instant and immediate. I looked around and it was all a nod of the head and a smile.

This state-of-the-art device redefines the listening experience, bringing the visceral energy and emotional depth of live music directly into the home with unparalleled sonic transparency. It's designed to meet the demands of even the most discerning audiophiles.

The Nazaré can be enhanced even further by adding the Nazaré Flow and Nazaré Net to form a three-piece solution for the ultimate audio experience.

These products embody the pinnacle of Innuos’ five core pillars of engineering focus:

- Processing – Using a deeply tuned and customised PreciseAudio mainboard, Nazaré benefits from new dedicated PreciseUSB and PreciseNET boards, independently powered and connected directly to the CPU to bypass conventional mainboard implementations, with substantial processing capability from 10 performance cores allowing even greater AudioCore processing. Up to 16TB of internal SSD storage is available to accommodate large music libraries

- Power Supply - Nazaré sets a new standard in power supply design, combining premium components with cutting-edge engineering for exceptional performance. It features high-precision multifilar toroidal transformers, custom-made Lundahl inductors, and premium internal cabling. Advanced DC4 regulation modules with low-noise foil resistors, innovative GaN-based active rectification, and an upgraded NGaN+ regulator with high-performance filters ensure clean, stable power delivery. This is further supported by an immense 752,000μF of capacitance, provided by dual banks of eight high-quality capacitors for uncompromising power quality

- Output – The Nazaré Flow is a dedicated high-performance output stage designed to complement the Nazaré streamer, while remaining fully compatible with any USB audio source. It features a high-precision USB reclocker with synchronized clock connections to internal boards, ensuring accurate signal timing. The Flow also includes on-board I2S output conversion and supports dedicated output modules for proprietary DAC interfaces like MSB ProISL. All components are powered by the latest generation Nazaré PSU architecture, which provides separate, low-noise power rails for the clocks, reclocker, and output boards

- Network - The Nazaré Net is a state-of-the-art audiophile network switch, housed in a matching Nazaré chassis and powered by the latest generation of Nazaré PSU architecture. It features a next-generation board with both SFP+ fibre and RJ45 input/output options, offering maximum flexibility and speed. Dedicated power rails for the network boards and clocks ensure uncompromised signal integrity and optimal performance throughout the system

- Chassis - All Nazaré products feature a newly engineered high-quality chassis and benefit from advanced SmartStack technology; a high-performance vibration dampening system applied through collaboration with TONEO and is used across key components including PreciseAudio boards, toroidal transformers, inductors, capacitor banks, and regulators. The asymmetric fascia and cover help dissipate standing waves and reduce structural resonance throughout the full aluminium enclosure. For further isolation, system-tuned feet developed with IsoAcoustics ensure optimal performance. An environmentally friendly ceramic coating completes the design, offering a durable, scratch-resistant finish with a refined, long-lasting appearance, which will also allow color personalization

Please see Chris's take on the release event and i am sure you will appreciate the incite of one reviewer i throughly enjoy and respect.
