| iFi Zen Stream (No USB output in Roon exclusive mode) @rick_hilton same here…when I go from AIO to Roon setting my DAC and volume drop off. When I switch back to AIO from Roon the DAC and volume were connected again. I have given up and will only use it in AIO mode and set the DAC and volume each tim... | |
| iFi Zen Stream (No USB output in Roon exclusive mode) I just bought a zen stream as well and have had a lot of challenges setting it up as well with roon. I use a Black Ice DAC with USB and every time I turn my DAC off I have to go into the iFi app to change it from coax spdif to my DAC so I have to... | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? The M5 does not have it’s own controller app. I use Roon now with a sonic transporter i5 as my network server to both my streamers instead of my Macbook Pro that I used prior. When I first bought the M5 I was not interested in Roon as well and c... | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? I have used both the Bricasti M5 and the iFi Zen Stream with LPS and optical cable with FMC’s on my BIA Glass Dac. The Bricasti is a definite step up but both sound very good. I ungraded my main system Dac to a Lab12 Reference so my BIA Dac is us... | |
| Does your IFi Zen Steam have Low Gain? Thanks but I am done with it all and will set the volume and Dac during each use. Not worth the time and frustration for the end benefit. | |
| Does your IFi Zen Steam have Low Gain? Well I opened a ticket with iFi and they continue to demonstrate they have no tech support. They only reply with a referral to their set up instructions which are no help. I have opened 2 separate tickets since i purchased the stream and this is ... | |
| Does your IFi Zen Steam have Low Gain? @jackd Ok well I did a reset to factory settings (actually multiple times) and it now saves the DAC setting and the volume setting but it will not show up in roon as an output device no matter what is done. It’s a nice paperweight now about to b... | |
| Does your IFi Zen Steam have Low Gain? @jackd thanks for the interesting input. When I turn my Stream off it reverts back to the output volume setting of “none” which lowers the fixed volume by about 50%. It also reverts the output device to spdif which I don’t use, I use USB with m... | |
| Does your IFi Zen Steam have Low Gain? @jamesgoff Thanks for your input…I was able to identify the problem and it was related to the iFi app. The app is where you have to set your device settings each time you use the device. I have to go into the app settings and select my audio out... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century @budburma did you buy direct from Rev Labs? Which cord is it and what is the cost? I have a Chardonnay being built by Mick. Thanks | |
| Does your IFi Zen Steam have Low Gain? @carlsbad @ricevs thanks for your suggestions…I got it solved…it was an oversight in the iFi software. I had the settings set at 100% volume but didn’t realize you have to go into the actual play app and also set the volume to 100% even if you ... | |
| Does your IFi Zen Steam have Low Gain? @ricevs yes I do have the max volume set at 100. I didn’t see the start volume setting. I’ll look into that setting. That might be my issue. I use the Roon setting and control my volume with my amp volume controls and don’t use the iFi ap. | |
| Zavfino @macg19 What kind of difference in SQ are you experiencing with the Fina PC on your DAC? How’s the rest of the loom sounding as well? Enjoy! | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @dekay absolutely the funniest post! LMFAO so much my ribs ache! | |
| Quobuz subscription @thyname Agree they are both very good (I slightly prefer Tidal) and grateful as well that we have both offered to us! |
