Thoughts on the iFi Zen Streamer


I am looking for input from those who have knowledge on this streamer. I have been considering the latest Bluesound Node. I have a quality DAC.

@fuzztone Thanks for the quick response. Exactly what i was thinking, I already have a couple of DACs and the price seems right for getting familiar with a streaming service. I am now trying out Qobuz using my computer. Good to hear your opinion on iFi. 

@bkeske  @fuzztone Thanks for your comments. Just  the info I was looking for. I believe I will be just fine with the basic aspect to the app. Will just be getting into streaming. If that becomes a major music access I will likely one day move the Zen to a secondary system and purchase a more high end streamer. As some will know, and fuzz may recall from a past thread, I have been considering this move for over a year. 

I will purchase the iFi Zen.  Will be hooked up to my router via Cat8 ethernet cable. I recently got a Qobuz subscription and also have AIFF files on a hard drive. 

@dbb Thanks for the additional info. I am anticipating the curve, both with the device and the streaming service.

To all, I am about to move into a home which I have been working on over the last year. Have held off on getting a streamer until I move in and have internet installed. Not yet sure which unit I will purchase.

I remain thankful for all advise provided.
