| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @temmple It is the best bang for the buck streamer only option unless you want to deal with one of the Rasberry options. The Zen Mini is a lot more expensive and includes a DAC module. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @temmple Will play whatever Qobuz is providing including all the Hi Res versions. One omission on that version of mConnect is the lack on an Internet function but that is in fact one useful feature in the iFi Stream app. It has a good inter... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz Just download the $6 mConnect HD app from the Apple store and you’re good to go. No need to switch to Tidal. I've never had a problem with mConnect and the Zen Stream with either WiFi or Ethernet connection. Pick the Zen Stream as your source and... | |
| Coincident 34SE MK II AMP--- replacing the fuse From the photos in several reviews it sure appears the fuse is in the IEC connector. Nothing on the bottom but voltage switch. | |
| Walk me thru upgrading from my BS Node For wireless only unless you are willing to use a WiFi extender the best option is Auralic. Aries G1.1 is $3250 and G2.1 is $5700. UI has worked great for me for six years through four models and now even includes Amazon Music if interested. They... | |
| can i get a significant dac upgrade over my Lumin d2 for 2k? If that rave review is even close to accurate the Gustard is worth a try at it's price. | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile Other than the obvious difference in bass from the multiple drivers and longer transmission line the AMT tweeter in the Abscisse is definitely more detailed and extended but whether or not that is a good thing is personal. In my experience and to... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? @soix There are two long running threads on Headfi involving the Zen Stream with many helpful people that are both long time users and tech savvy in terms of it's operation and the software. Once of the thread involves setup and reset proced... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile Unfortunately Bob knows more about Reynaud speakers than anyone in North America and other than he and maybe a couple of dealers it is unlikely that anyone has listened to both speakers side by side. I have owned Reynaud speakers since 2002 and am... | |
| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? According to the designer the USB input on the Holo May is the preferred one so try it until the DAC is broken in. I have both a May KTE and a Spring 3 KTE and I concur with the designer and see no need personally for a DDC. Your money though if... | |
| Power supply question for streamer Another good option for less than the Power Elite is the LHY power supply built by Jays Audio. https://www.tekaudiospecialties.com/product-page/lps25va | |
| Power supply question for streamer The specs are 9-15 volts so you are at the top of the range and should be fine. I bought a 12 volt LPS to split the difference. | |
| Help with iFi Zen Stream and mconnect HD While the iFi Stream app is generally not good for much else than maintenance issues the Web Radio function is actually pretty good and includes a number of FLAC stations. Since mConnect doesn't have a radio function it keeps you from having to u... | |
| Help with iFi Zen Stream and mconnect HD Go back to ifi local and make sure the "hot spot" is not shown as on. I've never been able to get the ifi.local site to work so I resorted to using the iFi app instead. It's pretty obvious that the iPad is looking for another location than where ... | |
| Help with iFi Zen Stream and mconnect HD Once you've got the Zen Stream back on the network using the iFi app then shut the iPad completely off, wait a few minutes and turn it back on. Then let mConnect look for the Zen Stream again. It is likely on a different IP address then when it ... |
