There’s a label here in the UK, Plane Groovy, which sells a fine selection of Prog. They did have a subscriber club which introduced me to some fine music, but unfortunately that’s closed now. Much of the music released there is still available under the new owners, Burning Shed. It’s worth a...

Qobuz doesn’t work directly with the ZEN Stream. One has to use mConnect. Tidal Connect works, as does Spotify Connect. For Qobuz the Wiim or Bluesound is a much better bet.

In my house there’s a Node 2i, Wiim Pro, and iFi ZEN Stream. Ignoring sound quality, I find the nicest to use are the Wiim, then the Node, with the ZEN trailing in third. The Zen is reliant on the likes of mConnect for accessing Qobuz, which is ok, but not as nice as the Wiim app, or Bluesound...

The Four Yorkshiremen isn’t a skit. It’s a documentary.

I got into headphones when I lived with my parents, and they didn’t want to listen to my music. 🙂

I’ve just tried again, and this time it carried on charging past 80%. From reading this thread, it seems the correct way to charge (if wanting to stop at a set limit) is to power on the player before plugging into the charger. I have had zero problems doing it this way.

That is correct.

@Nick24JJ I finally got around to trying the charging thing. Plugged R6P2 into the charger, then powered on the player. It stopped charging at the set limit of 80%. Same with R6III. The only times my player’s don’t stop charging is when they are not powered up. I now always charge with them...

That’s a positive in my book! 😂

This looks a fine piece of gear. I use a ZEN Phono in my main system, and it’s excellent. @iFi audio , is there going to be a Review Tour for the new ZEN Phono, and DAC, like there was for the ZEN Air range?

I power mine on, then plug it into the charger, and have no problems. It stops charging when it reaches the limit, 80% in my case. Later today I’ll try plugging it into the charger, then power up the R6, and see what happens. Will report back. The two albums I have in DSD play perfectly (in...
