WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad
@marco1 No, I don’t use Qobuz, but have thought about it. May get a trial one of these days. In terms of MConnect, I have downloaded it, and checked it out, (for the use of the Zen and Qobuz), and looks likes a direct connection between the iFi... 
WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad
@soix You are welcome. It is ultimately only in iFi’s best interest to get a connect feature with Qobuz, as they already have with Tidal. I have no reason to doubt they are working on it and will get this sorted out. But again, probably have to...

@bdp24  Ha! It was used, and actually got some of the higher ratings vs other releases on Discogs (including MOV), so took a chance. The pressing is fine, and pretty darn quiet. SQ-wise, it sounds fine, but to be honest, it has been years since I... 
WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad
@soix The iFi Zen Stream is a great streamer, you will enjoy it. It does Wi-Fi very well, but I have mine hard wired and connected to an extender. But before that, the Wi-Fi worked great. Now, to get the best sound quality, get yourself an exte...
