No claims here of being any sort of phono-preamp guru, but this ZP3 is amazing in the soundstage I am now being presented with! Well defined, and great separation. More later! Cheers!!

Thanks for your initial thoughts, we appreciate it! It seems to me (could be placebo) but I feel the ZD3 seems to have a slightly larger (wider) presentation to it, do you notice this? Cheers!!

Sorry to hear that. In answer to your question, there should not be any HF noise audible. I would contact the seller and arrange for a return. Cheers!!

Looking forward to your thoughts in the official thread, here... https://www.head-fi.org/threads/ifi-audio-zen-phono-3-turn-on-tranquility.972485/#post-18116342 Cheers!!

Finally got my ZP3 here in-house! Will do some listening thru the weekend and post my impressions probably early next week. Cheers!!

They could be making changes in the firmware versions, let me check this for you. For all those wondering as well, let me reset mine and see what comes up, that way I can see any issues before they occur. I will report back by tomorrow at the latest. Cheers!!

I am told we are getting closer, I hate saying that TBH as I have been here before, and I also don't like to give excuses but the changes at Tidal in aspects other than just FLAC MQA have made things a bit maddening for lots of folks, although they may not admit it I will... Hopefully in a few...

I thought someone posted a video a few pages ago with that comparison, I could be wrong... Cheers!!

My apologies my mind was thinking of the NEO iDSD2... If you would like please send me a PM with your ticket number and I will see if I can expedite for you Cheers!!

That seems accurate from my knowledge, I do not believe any new versions have been released for the ZD3 as of yet, but I will check this to be sure. Cheers!!

Last thing you can try doing the reset one more time by following (Exactly) this post... https://www.head-fi.org/threads/ifi-zen-stream-setup-tips-tricks.961425/post-16740713 After that just follow along with this video... (Wired only is best practice) Then setup wifi when verification all is...

Also... Make sure you are in AIO mode #1 on the back, try a different browser to try to access ifi.local. You can try setting up the Zen thru the app/hotspot method (not my personal favorite) if none of these work, a green light indicates you have local network connection but not network...

By chance is the right LED (white) blinking or solid in state? Cheers!!
