iFi Audio brings streaming unleashed through their new Wi-Fi/LAN audio transport. Now with a dedicated app to make setting up and using ZEN Stream even easier! 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). ‘Exclusive’ for your ears only. The ZEN Stream has one of the most fully-optimised software platforms in the world. From the device’s drivers, to the kernel (the heart of the operating system), to the shell (which interfaces with the kernel), to the applications and the user interface — everything is fully optimised for seamless operation and excellent sonic performance. An ingenious part of the ZEN Stream’s design is the ability to select between ‘Exclusive’ modes – individual settings dedicated to specific modes of operation to deliver the purest possible performance. All other programs are shut down – to minimise ‘software jitter’ — an often overlooked aspect that negatively impacts the quality of computer audio playback. All-in-one (AIO) covers all modes DLNA streaming NAA streaming Roon Bridge streaming (Roon Ready coming soon) Tidal streaming These modes ensure that the ZEN Stream is not merely a ‘jack of all trades’, but a master of all too.
