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.

I spent the $6 on mconnect HD and it was great until the app stopped recognizing the Zen Stream over Wi-Fi.  I’m switching to a wired connection through a TP-Link extender that will likely avoid the issue (and probably sound better), and until the Wi-Fi problem the app worked well and all my playlists, favorites, etc. were there.  I was surprised that streaming sounded better than spinning CDs, which was a nice bonus. 

I have the iFi Zen Stream and Denafrips Aries II. I am using Tidal because of the ‘connect’ feature, but would love to try Qobuz if they ever get their ‘connect’ feature released for the iFi Zen Stream, and others. Now, it will run directly to the Zen Stream if you use Roon, which I do not.

Thus, the best was to get a direct connect to the iFi (without Roon) is to use the MConnect app, but you have to run Quobuz through it and it’s interface. I believe there is a similar app that will do the same, but the name escapes me right now.
