Does the latest V1.4 require one to send Vinshine the revision version of the DSP module?

Per EPA your mileage (measurement) may vary depending on what you plug into your pipe (Pontus). Merry Christmas, enjoy your Pontus/music 🧑‍🎄

The web site is ok now

Thanks for checking. Same problem. Hopefully just their web site problem

Anybody having problem accessing China Hi-Fi web site? I purchased a set of Psvanne KT88 tubes for my Willsenton R8 on Monday. After that the web site could not be accessed and email to China Hi-Fi gets bounced back

Are you using USB or SPDIF? You need USB for DSD direct. From IFI q/a: “The ZEN Stream has two outputs, USB and S/PDIF coaxial. The coaxial output complies with S/PDIF standards with a maximum frequency of 192kHz for existing and older DACs. You can also play DSD files up to DSD128 through the...

Check the Vinshine website. They show both Singapore $ and converted US $. Since they are currently out of stock, you will need to preorder. They charge about 50% first on my CC and then the remainder 50% when ship. That’s what I went thru last year.

It would be most helpful if those reporting issues/problems to include: 1) firmware version 2) usb or spdif,….. 3) mode settings: AIO, Tidal,… 4) apps used: Roon, mconnect,…. 5) Spotify, Tidal or Quboz 6) psu used (9v, 12v,… make/model) 7) wifi or ethernet Otherwise it’s very confusing. I have...

Did you have the correct connection? The ZS usb output is the bottom connector not the top one

Did you keep pushing the input+ button instead of input- to shift the select direction?

How was it fix? Could be useful info

I am using ifi ipw2 (12v/1.8A) on my ZS for more than a month and no issues. The generic psu that came with it was noisy (my Willsenton R8 tube amp) was picking up a low level hum/noise from it. Also the generic psu I got is underpower (12v/1A). The ZS is rated 10W peak.

On the random pwr on/off, check your ac outlets. Are you using ac conditioner? What type of ac adapter are you using? The generic (underpower one) that came with it or a real IFI ipower one?

I am not very much into burnin time esp. for solid state devices, but what a surprise a few days ago. After about 300+ hrs of actual poweron usage, my Pontus II just opened up. The soundstage and the bass just bloom. Couldn’t be happier.

I was having problem with USB Spotify. When I changed the IFI app playback mixer option from HW to SW, Spotify started working. I then changed back to HW and Spotify is still working. Seems the ZS need to be kicked in the butt first with SW option 😀. V2.29.9

On my R8, the speakers were muted when I plugged in the headphone.
