    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Hi ifi Good to hear you are on this issue. I have the Wi-Fi-toggle issue too. But mine doesn’t default to wired connection. It is very clear when the wired connections is used as I have gone to great lengths optimizing using your elite, lan purifier and very good cables and a switch so it’s...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    That sounds like a good plan. And you can always experiment with adding a switch (or two…). Aavik makes great switches as you probably know- but expensive… I would also encourage you to compare streaming quality of your Aavik streamer with or without your nuc Roon server in the mix. I love...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    Sadly no. You have a great streamer and it will play depending on the source quality you feed it. I have Aavik too - not the streamer, but I know it very well. A quality LPS and a very good switch will definitely help. I am a big fan of the ifi Lan silencer but found out that it sounds the...

    iFi audio iPower X - The Official Thread

    Thank you for the reply Ifi I want to ask if it is possible for me to exchange my two elite units from an A to version B? And thank you for the detailed descriptions, but you didn’t answer regarding if version A is safe to use and lives up to safety regulations and requirements? Like others...

    Can you handle the Beast! Introducing the iDSD Diablo 2!!

    Sorry for posting this here, but since it’s impossible to get a answer from @iFi as they seem solely focused on only attending to critical questions in this head-fi thread only - I’am gonna exploit the momentum. So, sorry for the spam fellow head-fi’-people. Ifi, you promised to get back to us...

    Questyle CMA18 Portable DAC with Headphone Amplifier

    Thanks for your impressions. Based on recent posts I have cooled my interest a bit. I had high hopes that it was a greater choice for me then eg. mojo2, but based on your comparison with mojo1 I am not convinced. Also price is a bit high and there seems to be no preservation feature of battery...

    Can you handle the Beast! Introducing the iDSD Diablo 2!!

    Thanks for taking your time to answer now that ifi do not. I am relieved to hear that there is no safety issue. I have quoted one the posts below for you to see as I don’t understand any of it. Some are pointing to a missing chassis ground on the elite and to a possible issue using the included...

    Can you handle the Beast! Introducing the iDSD Diablo 2!!

    Ifi lost all credibility - which is just sad. And the spin ifi are trying ain’t doing anything to restore the lack of trust. My issue is that that I own various ifi gear and have two elites. And now members on the forum thread of the elite found out that they have a ground wire issue...

    iFi audio iPower X - The Official Thread

    Note: - Can’t get the quote function to work, sorry. My post should be seen in conjunction with user ‘presense’s posts and findings on the missing ground in ifi elite on previous pages. — What about current users ifi?!!! I have two elites! Making that kind of fix for future elites proves that...

    Can you handle the Beast! Introducing the iDSD Diablo 2!!

    I am in the market for the same thing and I will also sit this one out. Thanks for a very illuminating discussion. It seems to me that the Diablo 2 if not flawed doesn’t really improve on the last design. It don’t care about new features such as Bluetooth but more interesting in a better...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    actually, I would recommend JPLAY iOS app instead of mconnect. It does both tidal and Qobuz in a neat and combined way. the design UI - and sound is excellent too. Very much recommended and I found it sounding a lot better then mconnect and Roon for that matter. But that is compared to Roon...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Me too. Wired and direct connection with ifi Lan silencers at both ends. And airplay is not working. My iPad can find the ZS and it shows it plays sound to it, but there is no signal lights turned on on the ZS - and no sound. I can switch the sound from iPad to ZS many times to try to get it to...

    Woo Audio TUBE mini Balanced Headphone Amplifier/DAC

    great review. It mentions that the mini suits some headphones more the other. Anyone have any input on how it fairs with focal clear OG? I am very interested in the mini but would have to buy it without testing it so feedback on the clears would be great. I also have iem Shure 846 but taking...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    I can’t answer your question, sorry. But what really works for me besides quality power is; a ifi Lan Isilencers at router and streamers end and also one usb Isilencer+ in one of the usb a ports and a ground conditioner ifi ground hog at the other usb a port - I use the spdif output audio...
