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.

@jackd You are correct.  My cable has one USB A and one USB B connector on each end so I’m sure they can make it that way if desired.

None of the jumps are extreme and in the end I may like one of the cables better and you may like the other.  That's why I pay no attention to the "absolute proclamations" of what's better here or on any other forum.  It's all about personal preference or there wouldn't be so many cable companies.

Leaning towards the Supra Excalibur currently. Thanks again for all of your input :))

Going to try and setup my Zen Stream for Qobuz use and in another mode other than AIO. Is there a good place online to find info on how to set that up? This will be controlled via my iPhone.

There are two year plus running threads on Head-Fi on the Zen Stream.  Many knowledgeable people on there with a lot experience with the unit.  iFi people even participate.  If you are going to use Qobuz via Ios you will need to download mConnect HD for $5.99.  Easier to just leave it on AIO setting.
