Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited?
The Air Lens has no software included at all.  Easier to think of it as a Rendu with an I2s output and SPDIF output. Same collection of aftermarket software choices as work with the two iFi devices.  
Which Transport or CD Player?
@mdonda    For anyone to have done a side by side comparison, who was not a reviewer like Terry London, you would have to put down just short of $6000 and then hope you got a working ProJect unit to make the comparison.  In light of the multiple...

If your DAC doesn't use their I2S protocol it won't do you any good and if it does both the Silent Angel Munich and iFi Neo Stream have an I2S output using the same protocol for less. Plus with the Neo Stream you have an alternative DAC to try out.   
Low buzzing through speaks
@kingbr    Your thought process of wanting to get the processor to the top is a good one in theory though as it will have to most cables coming in and out it increases the chance for power and signal cables crossing.  Though a royal pain in the ...

If you've got IC's and PC's crossing over each other that's your problem.  Clean up the cable nest and the problem should go away.  
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
@temmple    Glad you finally got it all worked out.   
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
There's not Qobuz Connect for anything so it being iFi has nothing to do with it. If iFi want to have Qobuz integration they need to adopt an app that is compatible but that costs money they are not willing to spend.  There new Neo Stream is the s... 
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
@temmple    Are the Zen Stream and your phone/iPad on the same Network? Also when doing the complete setup of the Zen Stream in the Stream App you have to press the save button in each section where you make a change.  Also make sure you have ch... 
MConnect Player issue
You have to add the whole playlist to the Que to play it.  If you haven't read through this.   http://www.conversdigital.com/eng/product/product04.php#id_014  
MConnect Player issue
The paid version doesn't work on the Conversdigital boards like used in the Ayre unit the free version is the right one.  If the top song in the playlist has a forward arrow in its album cover press that one.  That will activate a whole album or p... 
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
I "heard" that too but didn't find it to be true. So try it yourself and see.   
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
@temmple    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 down... 
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
@temmple  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 per... 
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
@soix    If that's the case it's not the cable you linked too as dual head means two heads on the streamer side.    
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
@temmple    The dual heads are connected on the streamer side one for signal and one for power.  If you are not anticipating connecting external drive or connecting it through network then it won't matter.
