The barrel is 5.6 -2.1 and the pin polarity on the GX12-2 plug is pin 1 positive. That is pretty much industry standard on the polarity. The choice comes down to 2.5 or 2.1 on the barrel. Both will actually work though the 2.1 is a snugger fit. The 2.5 barrel that worked for the Aries Mini played fine but you just had to be careful not to bump it. If the LHY comes with a 2.1 then their supplied cable will be fine. Whether or not you want to upgrade the DC cable is up to you.

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, Scott |
@smrex13 I’d suggest getting a Wi-Fi extender from TP- Link, etc. and going hard wired with a good Ethernet cable from that to the Zen Stream. Not only does that apparently solve the connection issue, it’ll likely sound better as well. |
@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 |
