Replacing an Innuos Zenith MK II with a Nucleus?

I‘m in the process of deciding to replace my Zenith MK II with a Nucleus.
The Innuos is used as Core only.
Has anyone here done this before? What was your experience?

There’s a few threads.

Yeah, thanks, I‘ve read all these threads. And I’m full aware of all the differences in features (facts) and philosophies (whatever). My conclusion so far is that ppl who own an Innuos are happy, and did not switch to a Nucleus and vice versa. I am part of this group, as I have not done the switch yet (but most likely will do).
I was interested in hearing first hand experiences from someone who switched from an Innuos to a Nucleus (or Nucleus+) - or the other way round. I do not want to exchange theories. Thanks again.

I had the Zenith Mk3 for a couple months prior to switching to the Nucleus. I found the difference in SQ to be negligible if any. But the caveat is I don’t use the USB connection to DAC, maybe the Zenith has a better USB output in that regard but I simply run core only feeding endpoints via network. I don’t rip CDs either so that feature was wasted on me. So in light of that I have no regrets ‘downgrading’ and putting the money elsewhere in my system.
