I tire of ads pretty quickly and $7 isn’t the end of the world. I also logged a case with Tidal directly since it seems more likely the issue is in their app - given mconnect plays the same playlists without any problems. Stay tuned! PS: Nothings ever perfect but striving for that is a good...

mconnect just got my $7.99 for the paid version. Just finished listening to a 40 track playlist with zero issues.

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve downloaded mconnect and giving it a try. What sucks here is that there’s no real way for the end consumer to determine where the issue resides as the many posts the search link you gave demonstrates. I don’t understand the suggestion then to have that...

How did this end up on your end? I started that same playlist this AM and it played for about an hour and then stopped.

Hi. So what’s the next step then? Are there any logs that can be captured and sent back to ifi for analysis to determine what’s causing this? Being in IT and building large scale systems for public use myself, the last thing I expect to hear is the old “well it works ok on my end” so it must...

I agree. I’ve had more frustration on under-delivered features and instability with Tidal Connect than enjoyment of this device.

I tried an Ethernet cable but that didn’t yield positive results for me. I have noted that when playing an album there is no interruption and ZS will maintain the Tidal Connect link without issue. I created an adhoc playlist that had only mqa tracks and it disconnected somewhere along the...

I would love to be able to completely turn off MQA in favor of flac on ZS. Coming soon?

Other than Tidal I’ve got Apple Music but I don’t really use it due to airplay’s constraints. I’ve gone through the network recommendations I found in boards such as giving a a fixed IP, using a network cable instead of Wifi. overriding DNS with 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but none of these seemed as...

Playlists in general whether coming from Tidal (e.g. a suggested Trending Playlist or mix playlist from Tidals home tab) or one I created on my own. TBH I’m not certain about the latter but I’ll focus on this in my continued troubleshooting. As it stands right now, playing an entire album on...

Have you had any luck testing out Tidal Connect? In my end I haven’t found any patterns just yet. Although at one point it got so bad playback would stop after only one song. After rebooting the ZS I was than able to get maybe a 1/2 hour before playback stopped again. This makes me think it...

Has anyone figured out how to keep Tidal Connect from disconnecting and stopping playback in the middle of a playlist or album? This is my main use case and very frustrating that it doesn’t work right.

After factory reset, setting it up again, and updating firmware to the latest I can’t reproduce the issue anymore. I’ll keep an eye on it for now.

Has anyone noticed that with latest firmware if your wifi network reboots that you also have to reboot the Zen Stream? I got a gazillion wifi devices and all reconnect automatically. Except my Zen Stream.

Hi all and anyone who can help. I'm trying to get in touch with Westone Audio for help with a pair of Pro x50 but the number on their website for international support (+18883896684) is not working and I'm not getting any response from email to custom@westoneaudio.com either. Anyone know how...

Anybody have any updates on this from tidal? Apple Music supports at least up to 192khz judging by the blue led on my s9 pro from hidizs. Same Tidal tracks playing at 192khz on my android phone limited to 44.1 - 96 khz on iOS/iPadOS it seems. so clearly a software issue.

Happy to report that the beta (2.30.2) solves my problem. I'm back to MQA playback status on my zen dac v1. Tested both auto and off settings for the new MQA Option and the dac showed purple led. Switching the Passthrough option to On reverts to non MQA (green led). All as expected. A move in...

Same here. In fact, it was my ears first that noticed MQA wasn't happening which was then visually confirmed via the amber led color on my zen dac instead of the expected purple.

In my case I only need the decoding portion of the MQA process to happen on the stream. The rest (rendering) happens on the zen dac (v1). This is essentially what happens when I connect my zen dac to a PC or a Mac running the native Tidal app. As I understand the issue, if you have a DAC...

Thanks, I appreciate the updates - they are pretty much what I understood. I would love to have a definitive response from ifi on this also. FWIW I did go back to original firmware to make sure I wasn't dreaming that I had MQA decoding capability in my set up but I don't see that as a long...

To confirm my understanding of this thread: A) ifi is taking away MQA capabilities from the Zen Stream and it won't return it in the next or other future firmware updates B) Chromecast will never be supported despite promises at launch and on the box, website, etc. If the above are true, I...

Finally made the jump to Rockbox on my iPod Video 5.5 (wanted to try out Crossfeed logic & ReplayGain) and initially I am impressed by the ease with which I was able to install Rockbox in just a few clicks. Equally impressed that I could uninstall/re-install really easy (had a few mis-starts)...

Electronics for less carries a few brands (Shure, Senn, Monster). Bought my SE535 from them and was pleased at the price and the fast shipping.   http://www.electronicsforless.ca/audio-3/earphones-headphones-38/

been listening to these for the past 7 - 8 weeks now and have to say that I absolutely love almost every aspect of them. soundstage is wide/detailed and very dynamic. spectrum is fairly well balanced for my tastes (which includes classical/baroque to adult alt, grunge, and garage rock/blues) and...
