I missed my return window and at the same time my ZS stops play music randomly. Is there a way to see error logs? I'm hoping you will release stable update soon.

to be honest when I first boot it up I couldn't connect it for over an hour then suddenly it just worked... I have no idea why. Since then I didn't have any major issues. Maybe worth contacting ifi Customer Service directly?

have you tried to connect using device IP? You can see it from your router settings "connected devices" or similar. This worked for me coz I struggled as well. I have to agree, it's not finished product. I wonder what ifi thinks... do they pat themselves on the back? hah I decided to keep ZS...

Makes sense!

Follow my steps in previous post. SPDIF - hit play (no sound) - while still in playback - click save (the light will restart) - then it should work. If I just click save SPDIF, it doesn't work. The light is on but no sound. It's a bit confusing. On the second note, why would you choose RCA on...

ok... my exact steps are: turn on ZS, play any track (I use just USB drive) the light will come up but no sound, then go to playback options and hit 'save' they light will go off then it should work. If I just "save" and play it won't work. It's play -light on-> no sound --> save spdif -no...

I don't know how to help you with network issues but I think I got the same "bug" with SPDIF. What works for me - every time ZS power on, I have to go to 'playback options' and choose SPDIF, click 'Save' (even though it's already set us SPDIF!). I hope this makes sense.

I'm not sure if I fully understand your question... ZS (with USB thumbdrive) --coax cable--> MC3+ --coax cable--> TT2

Volumio is OK as long as it's implemented correctly. Therefore I'd like to see "polished" product, fix bugs, improve stability.

I hope they will focus on optimising software before releasing anything new...

Re 1. yes you can Re 2. that's all I use my ZS for... I can't see any downsides.

you gotta enable it first here: http://ifi.local/dev/

Thanks a lot for trying it out! It's not a massive issue it's just annoying sometimes. Let's hope that ifi Audio keep improving ZS.

Thanks @Mr BubbaHyde. I'm not giving up that easily. I previously used it with USB (with Mutec MC-3+ Smart Clock USB) without any issues. I prefer Spdif (it sounds better to my ears) with my MC-3+ Smart Clock USB. I don't use any streaming services, just USB flash drive with .flac files. I have...

thanks! In a way it's good to know that I'm not the only one but ifi... ifi... I'm disappointed. I still got few weeks before my return window expires.

I found some info about similar issue here: https://github.com/volumio/Volumio2/issues/615 Volumio dev "Basically the new kernel was loading the i2s module before the integrated pi audio(...)"

I use it ZS with SPDIF out, every time I switch ZS back on, SPDIF doesn't work. I have to go to 'Playback options' and click 'Save' under 'Output Device' and then it works. So odd... is it known issue? I only use SPDIF, no USB dac.

I'm sorry, I don't understand...

this didn't work but I guess there must be (?) root user/password combination...

Hi all, I'm sorry for hijacking the thread but I wonder if someone knows how setup Zen Stream to access (as root) mounted USB drive over network? I just plugged in my USB stick with music, it's mounted, Zen plays music (yay). I can even see USB drive over network (on my Mac) but I can't copy...

I agree... cable fittings are not good. I got clear pair so it's easier to fit but still.

I didn't have any problems...

I changed the cable without any problem. I totally I agree though, the connctors are weird and very uncommon. ooph.

I had universal Emotion and loved them... I actually ordered customs. I should get them in 2 weeks.

+1 (it makes no sense to me)
