Sense

Hardware can only be as good as the software that runs it - Sense is built from the ground up, from the kernel to the control app, for high-fidelity music playback. Software and firmware engineering are not simply to operate the hardware, but to support sound quality through a highly optimised and low-latency design, with technologies such as Real-Time Kernel, AudioCore, Caching for in-memory playback, and websocket communication to reduce network polling.

Bring together music stored on your Innuos system or NAS with your favourite streaming services in one unified library. Search, browse and play your collection without worrying about where it is stored, with support for Qobuz, TIDAL, Deezer, HighResAudio and IDAGIO, alongside Qobuz Connect, TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect and AirPlay 2.

Sense gives you everything you need to build and manage your digital music collection. Rip CDs, download music directly from Qobuz, edit metadata, manage files and backups, create playlists and use advanced filters to quickly find exactly what you want to hear.

Classical music demands more than artist, album and track. Sense intelligently connects composers, works, movements and performers, allowing you to browse by composer, work, conductor, orchestra or soloist and explore every recording of a work in your collection.

Sense gives you different ways to explore your music. SmartQ lets you choose between familiar favourites from your existing library or related music that takes you beyond what you already own. Rich metadata, artist biographies, discographies, related artists and detailed album information give you even more ways to discover.
Unlock even more possibilities with our exclusive SenseUPnP feature, allowing you to stream audio directly to your existing UPnP devices through the elegant and intuitive Sense app.

Need even greater flexibility? Use your Innuos music server as a NAS or UPnP library, integrating as music library to other multiroom systems such Sonos.

Sense gives you the freedom to use your Innuos system in the way that suits you. While Sense provides the complete Innuos music experience, our hardware also supports Roon, HQPlayer and UPnP, as well as Qobuz Connect, TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect and AirPlay 2. Innuos Music Servers can also run Roon Core, giving you the option to use your Innuos system as the heart of a Roon-based setup without needing a separate computer.

Sense provides a single interface for controlling your Innuos system, whether it is operating as a music server, streamer endpoint or both. Multiple Innuos systems can also be controlled independently or grouped for multi-room playback, giving you a consistent experience as your system grows.

Because Sense is developed entirely by Innuos, we can continually improve it with new features, refinements and support for emerging technologies. Our Community Forum also helps shape the development roadmap, giving us direct feedback from the people using Sense every day. Enjoy free updates that makes your streaming experience even better over time.
