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    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... 
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...
