IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz


What is the best way to setup the ifi Zen Stream to work Qobuz? I would like to get 24/196 when available and also trying to find out if that’s possible with this setup. Most likely going to use a Denefrips Ares II in conjunction with the Zen Stream.

Glad I stumbled upon this thread.  I'm having the same issues - trying to stream Qobuz via the Zen Stream.  I tried Roon, and it worked but only via the spdif output of the Zen, which in my system doesn't sound nearly as good as the USB, so Roon was out.  I have mConnect HD now, and I can get it to access my Qobuz account, I can't get it to connect to the Zen Stream.  I'm using a MacBook Air as my front end.  Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.  I'm new to streaming and to digital audio in general.  Been an analog guy for quite a while.   

Thanks,

@jackd Thanks for the info.  I have restarted them a couple of times, but the Zen Stream doesn't show up as an option to choose.  I have the ZS set on the DNLA setting - is that the correct one?  Under the "Play to" button on the mConnect, my only choice is my Macbook/Airplay.  When I click on the "UPnP devices" it seems to do a search but it doesn't find anything.  

@soix Thanks for the suggestion of a wifi extender.  I'll give it a shot this weekend.

Cheers, Scott

@jackd Thanks!  That worked.

Ok, next problem (sorry, I'm a digital newbie):  mConnect will only play one song. I have to hit play for every song, and I can find any setting that will allow it to just play through an album.  Is there a setting that will tell it to play the next song on a album automatically?  

 

Thanks, Scott
