Zen Stream - How to limit Qobuz streaming to 96Khz

I have previously subscribed to Tidal.

Currently have Qobuz on trial. There's no going back. Qobuz is staying. Better sounding, no MQA, more HiRes, and cheaper.

Thanks for the answer Soix. This is exactly what I was looking for (by the way, I already have the MConnect  HD version). I noted that you also use the Zen Stream. Just to let you know that the ZS responds VERY well to a better power supply (I had the wallmart power supply with my ZS). Significant upgrade. 

Latitk: Interesting comment. I fully understand your point re ‘sound natural‘. I prefer Tidal Hifi (redbook) over Tidal MQA (sounds more natural to me) and the Border Patrol Dac is a NOS Dac that, as per my readings, sounds natural (I will chose natural sound over the last bit of detail anytime). However, I was not aware that downsampling to say 96khz can have that effect on the sound. Is it very significant?

Thanks…

I am curious to learn your reasoning for considering a DAC that wont’t allow you to take advantage of Qobuz’s high resolution streaming. I never enjoyed files that are either downsampled or upsampled, they just don’t sound natural to me. 

You can go to the Qobuz website and go to settings>streaming and you can set the resolution there.  I started with Tidal, but once I tried Qobuz there was no going back — more hi-res music, better user interface, and none of the silly unfolding business or MQA BS.  I run Qobuz through mconnect, and I highly recommend you drop the $5.99 on the HD version as it doesn’t have the restrictions of this Lite version and probably has fewer problems.  Hope this helps.
