| Aqua LaScala MkII NUC question Their own streamer the LinQ doesn't have the option of USB. Their output options are single and dual AES, SPDIF and their proprietary RJ45 connection I2S. With the La Voce S3 the AES was to me the clearly better sounding input and as I don't do ... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz In the setup of mConnect (top left corner) you have to tell it to play to the Zen Stream otherwise it will just play to the control point. If you have to turn them both off and then back on Zen Stream first and after it is booted up completely t... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz 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.... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz No idea. All four of the cables I have used have just worked including the ones included with the power supplies. It is just industry standard I would guess. Why all the concern about the barrel connector? | |

| Aqua LaScala MkII NUC question My understanding has always been than it only works with the La Diva transport and their streamer. Might be able to use it with other RJ45 based gear if you had a specialty cable made matching the pin outs on both ends. Several people have done ... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @temmple That looks good the best I can tell from the ad. Whether or not it is actually the one made and sold by Jays Audio only they could tell you. I actually intended to buy the LHY from Todd at Tek Audio but just out of curiosity as I h... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @temmple 12 volt is the sweet spot for the power supplies. The barrel is 2.1 and pin one is positive. Don't know anything about the brand with the link you supplied and I just stuck with a brand I had experience with. Most of the ones you ... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @temmple This should work just fine. LHY is the power supply division of Jays Audio. Reach out to Todd at TEK Audio Specialties in Texas. https://www.tekaudiospecialties.com/product-page/lps25va If your looking to spend less the the T... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile @analogj Do keep us posted on your impressions | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile @analogj Congrats on the Cantabile Jubilee's I think you will be pleased. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz Agree of those three the Denafrips. | |
| 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... |
