Hi-Res Audio Streamer WiFi DLNA 32bit 384kHz DSD256 MQA
Behind its modern design, the iFi Audio hides an extremely powerful network player. Its sole purpose: to allow you to stream your music from the Internet to your DAC, without any loss of quality. Hi-Res certified and capable of playing streams up to PCM 32bit 384kHz and DSD256 via WiFi / LAN, you just need to associate a connected device to the Zen Stream to simply enjoy your music. Its optimized open source architecture offers a particularly wide compatibility and regular updates.
The Zen Stream's architecture incorporates high-quality components in an optimized circuit. These include two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports with Active Noise Cancellation II technology, a Coaxial SPDIF output with integrated iPurifier, a power supply using Silent Power technology and a software layer based on Volumio and enhanced and optimized by iFi Audio engineers.
Zen Stream benefits from a particularly well optimized software layer. From the drivers to the kernel and shell, from the applications to the user interface, everything is optimized for smooth and transparent operation and excellent sound performance.
The streamer also offers the possibility to select "exclusive" modes, i.e. individual settings dedicated to specific operating modes in order to offer the purest possible performance. All other programs are disabled in order to minimize software jitter, an often neglected aspect that has a negative impact on the sound quality.
Operating modes
The Zen Stream offers extensive connectivity for maximum versatility:
Qobuz is only available on iOS via Airplay or on Android via Bubble UpNP.
Particularly powerful, the Zen Stream is equipped with high-end components and advanced technologies.
