iFi ZEN Stream MQA Wireless WiFi Network Streamer Transport [Display Set]

Description Technical Specifications Shipping Reviews Streaming Unleashed. Wi-Fi audio transport.     Just add Remote Control. Beneath its classy exterior, the ZEN Stream is a technological streamer-de-force. It has one purpose – to send music from the Internet to your DAC with no loss of quality. True hi-res performance of PCM384/DSD256 via WiFi/LAN. Just add your smart device as a remote and away you go. Optimised open-source architecture – works with multiple dedicated platforms, completely and perfectly future-proofed as it is constantly updated. Ease of use audiophile implementation. It is the bee’s knees of Streamers.   Warp speed tech. ZEN Stream is a true ground-up design by iFi — the hardware and software implementation is quite exceptional: Two SuperSpeed USB3.0 ports with Active Noise Cancellation II S/PDIF out with the iPurifier built-in Power supply with Silent Power tech iFi software developed with Volumio open-source as the starting point, then coded and optimised by us to achieve the purest streaming software bar none These are some of the factors behind why the ZEN Stream is at the cutting-edge handling PCM384/DSD256 on LAN and WiFi (802.11n, with 100Mbps on 5Ghz). Who’s who of Streaming. Hot off the press, the ZEN Stream has the following connectivity options: Stream straight from Spotify/Tidal apps with Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect Works with any DLNA certified streaming app (our own app is imminent!) Integrated Airplay and Chromecast* – easy streaming from Apple and Android devices Roon compatible – basically, it adds Roon to any DAC. NAA operation in conjunction with Sygnalist’s HQPlayer software     Tech savvy. Beneath the unassuming casework sits some serious horsepower in terms of both technologies and components: Powerful 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex microprocessor USB and S/PDIF interfaces regulated by femto-precision GMT clock to eradicate jitter Active Noise Cancellation II and iPurifier technologies for USB and S/PDIF interfaces respectively Intelligent Ethernet switch controller High-PSRR, low idle current, low-dropout voltage regulators with soft start Synchronous 1.6MHz high-speed precision power supply controller C0G capacitors and Taiyo Yuden and Murata low ESR inductors   This is a true hi-res device. It uniquely supports PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz over Wi-Fi as well as Ethernet cable, plus DSD up to 11.2MHz (DSD256). Highly unusual in a Wi-Fi streamer.   Our ‘exclusive modes’ give you individual settings dedicated to specific modes of operation to deliver the purest possible performance. All-in-oneThis non-specific mode is great for all platforms, audio formats and devices. DLNA streamingSelect this mode to optimise performance when using the ZEN Stream with DLNA-compatible apps and devices. NAA streamingSelect this mode when using the ZEN Stream as a Network Audio Adapter in conjunction with Signalyst HQPlayer software. Roon Bridge streamingSelect this mode when integrating the ZEN Stream into a ROON environment. Tidal streamingIf you are a subscriber to Tidal’s Masters Tier, this is the mode for you. Use the ‘hotspot’ button on the front to join a Wi-Fi network. Dual-band Wi-Fi reception supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac for a fast, reliable wireless connection.   The circuit design has been painstakingly engineered to deliver superb sound, with processing muscle supplied by a 64-bit, quad-core ARM Cortex microprocessor. The USB ports – both input and output – support the SuperSpeed USB3.0 standard and benefit from iFi’s Active Noise Cancelling technology to remove distortion from the audio signal. Similarly, the coaxial S/PDIF output incorporates iFi’s iPurifier signal purifying technology. Both of the two digital outputs – asynchronous USB and coaxial S/PDIF – that provide connectivity to an external DAC or an amp with digital inputs are regulated by iFi’s femto-precision GMT (Global Master Timing) circuitry to eradicate jitter from the digital audio signal. Intelligent Ethernet. The device uses a high-performance Ethernet switch with a low-power integrated 5-Port Giga-PHY.\ We’ve utilised high-PSRR, low idle current, low-dropout voltage regulators with soft start. This means maximised efficiency and minimised system noise. Add to this, a synchronous 1.5MHz high-speed power supply controller for even great noise reduction and even less distortion. Carefully chosen circuit components including discrete, high-grade surface-mounted devices such as TDK C0G multilayer ceramic capacitors and inductors from Taiyo Yuden and Murata add to the quality build of this product.

Important Notice for Customers in the USA Due to recent changes in U.S. trade regulations, additional tariffs are being imposed on products manufactured in China and imported into the United States. As many of our audio products are made in China, orders shipped to U.S. addresses may be subject to an added tariff charge at checkout, reflected as a "U.S. Import Tariff Surcharge". Please note that this surcharge amount is determined by U.S. import policies and may vary significantly depending on product categories and any future policy adjustments. These charges are necessary to ensure compliance with U.S. customs requirements and to allow us to continue serving our U.S. customers reliably. We strongly encourage you to review the total cost at checkout before placing your order.   Important Notice due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East This surcharge is temporary but necessary during this period of significantly increased operational pressure as a result of the ongoing geo‑political situation in the Middle East.Orders shipped to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Africa, US and EU regions may be subject to an added surcharge at checkout, reflected as a "Temporary Emergency Situational Surcharge".
