However, you need to have your source somehow connected to the router as well. In your audio setting the Zen Stream is connected to your router via Ethernet. The sound files are transported through your local network. Are your files high quality downloads, ripped CDs or are you using a software such as Tidal or Spotify? The Zen Stream is capable of streaming any file format you feed to it up to PCM384/DSD256.ģ. The sound quality will be limited by the sound file/format you are feeding into the Zen Stream and your DAC capabilities. When using a DLNA server, Logitech Media Player will display all media content when browsing or searching. If you are using your phone as a source it is not necessarily compromising the sound quality just because of the fact that it is a phone. Music stops when you disconnect ethernet cable - if you set the wireless network off in your Zen Stream app then the default connection is Ethernet.Ģ. let's deal with your questions one by one.ġ.

Being new, I've been trying to set the Stream to play for hours on end while I'm away at work to break it in, but for some reason, the Stream hasn't been playing when I arrive home. Using ethernet for the network connection, if only the Qobuz Mac app could see the Stream life would be fantastic. A Mac based way of using Qobuz via network at full resolution would be great as the Stream is nowhere near my computer.

Using the iOS IFI app to update the firmware would not work, no matter the device, the download would freeze at 40%. An attractive device is also a welcome change.

What a pleasure, after two nightmarish experiences getting Rasp Pi streamers going in the past, to have the IFI Stream streaming music in less than five minutes.
