IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
Thanks for the links! Found this one as well. What voltage did you go with? I was thinking if I get a dual ported PS I could plug my DAC and Streamer into it and only need one power supply. Read somewhere that the Zen Stream sounds better at the ... 
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
I just double checked and the ifi needs 1.8 amps and the XP2 only outputs 1 amp so might not be a go. Wishing I could find a decent linear power supply for the Zen Stream that is not $280. Anyone know of a good linear that would work with the ifi ... 
Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat??
What about a Aune XP2 power supply? Would that work with the ifi Zen Stream? It outputs 9v at 1amp but not sure the barrel connectors are the same.   
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
I am looking at the Aune XP2 power supply and think it might work with the ifi and then I could use the second DC port for the X8 DAC as long as the connectors are the same on ifi and Aune.

I just had one of their DAC’s fail so not going with them again.

@soix Do you use a upgraded power supply with your Zen Stream? Been trying to find one other than the ifi ones.   
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
I like a more relaxed sound but with tight LF. I have owned a R2R DAC and really enjoyed the sound but that unit has started to fail so looking into other options. Budget is maxed at 1K.

Now it’s time to pick a DAC to go with the Zen Stream. I have it narrowed down to these three. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Soncos SGD1 Aune X8 Denefrips Ares II

The ifi really seams to be the best bang for the buck streamer only option. People keep telling me to look into the Innuos ZenMini MK2 but that’s a fair amount more.

@jackd So no limitations bit rate wise in using mConnect HD with Qobuz?

Forget to mention controlling via iPhone or iPad. I hope I can find a way to use Qobuz with the Ifi Zen that’s not complicated but might have to switch to Tidal,  
Upgrade Internal DAC of Node or go with Atoll ST120.
What streamer options are you looking at? Thinking I might go with the ifi zen streamer if I go the Ares II route but the Zen streamers does not have proper Qobuz integration so not sure. I am now thinking about ditching Qobuz for Tidal because of...

One last shot here before I pull the trigger. Lunen D2 or Node with Denefrips AresII DAC? Just looking for the best sound quality.  
Upgrade Internal DAC of Node or go with Atoll ST120.
I am really trying to decide between the Lumin D2 and the Atioll ST200 but hard to find any comparisons online.   
Upgrade Internal DAC of Node or go with Atoll ST120.
Any input on what setup on my list would sound best? Prefer a more neutral sound.     --DAC/Streamer Options— Atoll MS120 or ST200 Lumin D2 --DAC only with Node— Soncoz SGD1 Aune X8 Ares II
