Thank you! Just updated iFi firmware by going to the Roon core. Currently, I’m using the #1 All In One setting on the back. Have yet to try the dedicated #2 setting for Roon only. Do you have knowledge of or experience with the Roon setting?
i use my zs on 'roon only', as it is supposed to be quieter in operation not having other processes running to cover other sources... to me this makes imminent sense as i use roon as the gateway app for qbz, tidal, and stored files ...
Hmm. I’d your Ifi app up to date ? Are you using apple or android ?
Does the zs need to be off to change it or can it be done “on the fly”… with the amp and pre on?
You can safely do this on the fly!
Thanks, David
Still loving this little unit which seems to keep getting better as ifi improves it.Looking forward to getting accustomed to Roon in the coming weeks with the Zen Stream.I’m wanting to ensure I’m squeezing the most out if this device before sending to my Dac.Is anyone using an external LPS with it and have you had good results?My zen stream came with the basic power supply . I could buy the ipower x supply but am leaning towards a 12 or 15 v lps. Any reason not to do that? Also….Assuming one has an adequate Wi-Fi network … would that be preferable to physically connecting it to my router and all its associated noises?Thank you JS
JackD, thanks for this recommendation Any thoughts on which voltage to get? the Z.S. accepts 9v to 15v. I believe 1.8 amps to .8 amps in that rangeThe current rating on the Beatechnik power supplies are higher, could that be in issue?Nick B, I'll similarly be feeding into an Se-i BP dac and an RB10 tube pre from AVA followed by their SET 120Also, any suggestions re: network filtering beyond the uptone regenI've read a bit about the ENO from network acoustics...seems to be a very different device from the uptone. Any other options? Lastly , I'm keeping my Stream on the AIO setting since I like to airplay from my laptop sometimes. I normally listen to Tidal connect when actually listening to music. I will be trying Roon out soon with a free trial but I don't have a core yet. Working on that. Are you noticing differencing when switching the dial in the back to Tidal only or Roon only?
Has anyone here used the Topping p50 lps with their Zen Stream?It has a 15V tap as welll as a 5V, and I believe they can both be used simultaneously albeit with lower current.Price is right at 120. Not the most powerful unit but for the ZS, seems like it would be just finehttps://amp.apos.audio/products/topping-p50-linear-power-supply
Wow, it's been a while since the last time I was here! As for PSUs for ZEN Stream, it operates within the 9-15V DC range, but some folks say that it sounds better if powered by 15V chargers/LPSUs than their lower voltage versions. Hope this helps, thanks!
