On this episode of the AXPONA Audio Insider Podcast, host Lenny Florentine sits down with Stephen Healey of Innuos to trace both a personal and technical journey into high-end streaming audio. Stephen shares how a childhood surrounded by vinyl and classic hi-fi sparked a lifelong passion for music that eventually led him into the industry, before diving deep into the origins and philosophy of Innuos — from its early experiments with music servers in 2009 to becoming one of the most respected names in digital audio. The conversation explores Innuos' full-stack approach to streaming, why software, power supply design, and system efficiency matter just as much as hardware, and how modular streamers, dedicated network switches, and separates can dramatically impact sound quality. They also break down Innuos' current product lineup, explain digital connections and DAC options, and preview the U.S. debut of the flagship Nazare system at AXPONA, offering a clear look at how far high-end streaming has evolved — and where it's headed next.
