Why aren’t you using USB out? That’s the highest resolution port out of the ifi.
Check the manual on the ifi Zen to make sure the port you are using supports the resolution you want.
Questioning my Oppo Sonica dac?
I'm hoping for some insight on my problem. I've been using an Oppo Sonica for a few years now for streaming until I started having connection issues streaming Tidal mainly this was thru wifi. Fast forward to the recent purchase of the IFI Zen streamer which was very difficult (to my limited tech abilities) via wifi, so I move my modem and router and go with wired connect. Problem solved for connection. Tidal cancelled (not really relevant) just using Spotify, Zen into Sonica for the dac.
I then sign up for trial with Quboz and after researching use MconnectHD to use with IFI Zen. My joy when sound is finally produced. The IFI is now telling me I'm steaming hi res (white led display) but my display on the Sonica dac says 44.1 pcm. this is via coax. I have no idea which is correct but do not want to pay for Quboz if the dac is correct. Can't really go with another dac at this point to trial. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks.

Oppo Digital Sonica DAC - The Absolute Sound soix Maybe you should do a little research before badmouthing other people's equipment. BTW, last time I checked, 2017 is in this century. |
@erik_squires to update...i did just get a USB 2.0 cable and my sonica dac now displays 96 khz when playing hi res from Qobuz. Thanks for the feedback. |
