    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Constantly using it. Sometimes Spotify/Tidal does't see ZS and after restart from there (without having to go to the unit becauseit is hidden)....it is ok. I hope in the new update at least some of the bugs will be ironed out. Will it be based on the new Volumio version?

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    I'm not aware if they are different versions. I bought 2 more for friends and the where all tha same I guess. Issue a ticket with the serial number on iFi site. They will send a tool and firmware to flash. It can help!

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Hope WiFi work out for you. Be sure to get good signal. But apperantly it's not all about if it works or not. As I've mentioned it sounds better on LAN at my system (router is at 50cm). About the PSU....the first 1000 units where with an iPower included in the box, which is about 90 euro stand...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    So MConnect Lite is your app of choice. In the app there is a "Browser" button on the bottom where Qobuz option is located. Adding username\pass and will load the account. Be sure that the Zen stream is set to "all" at the back of the unit itself(look it into the manual) and turn ON+connect to...

    I was on a hunt for info on some usb and other LAN cables. Sorry for the delay.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    This is USB right? I'm asking for LAN (ethernet)! I don't need the USB cable. I want to use LAN for the long run.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Can someone share (maybe ifi representatives) what is the LAN cable (manufacturer/model) supplied in the box with the ZS? I'm looking to buy a couple of meters of that exact same one.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    You have to be more specific ...... With ZS it is 50/50 chance of work/broken.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Yeah, you turn it off and it goes on again. After force close and reopen iFi app.....its on again. So the toggle only says that it is doing something but without a result.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    I'm using Tidal Connect and a button comes up on the remote app "flac/high" and I can toggle it. Or is it not doing anything? Does it need firmware update to work?

    Ethernet here. Way more clarity/details/open sound with the stock LAN cable.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    On some switches the differences where easy to hear! Frankly i didn't test the Netgear specifically. I use the Netgear GS108+stock PS. Tried it with iPower(I have spare 12V) combo but no real sound bennefit. Maybe if it is LPS like yours..... Very cheap yes. My thoughts also, worth a try for...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Only 2nd? How come? Where does the internet come from....? Try 1st+8th. On a TPLINK swich the differences where night and day. Netgear has the most details and 3d sound from all that I've tested so far (mostly cheap ones). A little less weight in the bass tho.....I have also a DLINK for testing...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Nice! I also upgraded to an Sbooster LPS on the ZS and it's sounding great! But the firmware is bad...... Did you use the same LPS for ZS and Wiim? And i guess ZS+usb and Wiim+optical/coax? On the Netgear which ports do you use?

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    I did compare ZS+ifi iPower+USB(audiophile one) to Wiim Pro+stock power+stock optical as a streamer only at exactly the same conditions. ZS sounded with more depth/width/details/musical. Not miles ahead but noticeable better. Come to think about it .....maybe the USB cable+iPower could have been...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Do the setup on a LAN cable. I also had some difficulty on WiFi at start. It will let you update the firmware and after that the WiFi is working ok.
